Song Name: Firework
Artist Name: Katy Perry
BEGINNERS READ THIS:
This is a simplified version of the song that only uses 4 basic chords. Great for
beginners who want to practice the normal G, Am, Em and C chords.
EASIER OPTION:
Another way to play the song is to replace Am with A7sus4, Em with Em7 and C with
Cadd9. This is an easier way to play if you?re not comfortable with changing
chords yet and it also sounds good on Acoustic Guitar.
TO PLAY WITH ORIGINAL SONG:
Capo 1st fret if you have a capo. If you don?t have one, transpose the chords
below up 1 half step.
