In sweetness

How to play "Robin" by Taylor Swift on guitar
Playing Style: Use a gentle strumming pattern throughout
the song to match the soft and introspective tone of the
lyrics. Focus on clean transitions between chords to
maintain the song's calm flow.
[Intro]
- Strum each chord once and let them ring to set a
reflective mood.
C -> Fmaj7 -> C/B -> Fmaj7
[Verse 1]
- Maintain a consistent strumming pattern: Down-Down-Up-
Up-Down-Up. This will give the verse a flowing, rhythmic
feel.
"Long may you reign, You're an animal..."
C -> Fmaj7 -> C/B -> Fmaj7
[Pre-Chorus]
- For "Strings tied to levers..." increase the dynamics
slightly to build up to the chorus.
Am -> Fmaj7 -> C/B -> F -> C -> Am
[Chorus]
- Here, maintain the strumming pattern but emphasize the
first strum of each chord change to highlight the
chorus's lyrical message.
"Way to go, tiger, Higher and higher..."
Fmaj7 -> G -> C -> Am
[Instrumental Break]
- Similar to the Intro, let the chords ring to give the
listeners a moment to reflect on the lyrics.
C -> Fmaj7 -> C/B -> Fmaj7
[Verse 2 & Pre-Chorus]
- Repeat the same strumming pattern and progression as the
first verse and pre-chorus.
[Bridge]
- Slow down the strumming here and focus on the narrative
storytelling in the lyrics.
"You got the dragonflies above your bed..."
C/E -> Fmaj7 -> C/B -> G
[Chorus]
- Repeat the chorus as earlier, maintaining the strong
emotional delivery.
Fmaj7 -> G -> C -> Am
General Tips:
- Tuning: Ensure your guitar is tuned to standard tuning
(E A D G B E).
- Practice the chord transitions slowly at first and
gradually increase speed as you become more comfortable.
- Focus on the emotional delivery to connect with the song's
message.
Lyrics Meaning:
This song portrays a scene of innocence and youth, mixed
with a touch of whimsy and surrealism. The lyrics evoke
imagery of a childlike ruler, playful yet unaware of the
weight of their words, creating a narrative that reflects
both sweetness and a naive harshness.
