CAPO: 1st FRET
[Intro]
NONE
[Verse]
C
I know I shouldn't say what's up
G
I heard you went and met someone
Am7 Dm
But I've got a little cold beer buzz
F C
And he ain't here right now
C
I bet you if I took your hand
G
And we had a neon night slow dance
Am7
You'd be getting to forgetting all about him
F
And you'd be walking out of here without him
[Chorus]
C
When you're single again
And you're thinking of me
G
Ya know, I got that same ole Tennessee
Am7
615 that you used to hit up
F
A half past where you at pick me up
C
When you're all over him
I hope you're all over me
G
I got a king-size bed
Just missing a Queen
Am7
Make me your first call
After your last call
F
With him
C
And you won't ever be single again
[Verse]
C
I got a Cabernet with your name on it
G
A slow drive on a Sunday, you can count on it
Am7
I'll treat you better than he ever did
F
Girl, when we're together, you won't ever wish
[Chorus]
C
If you're single again
And you're thinking of me
G
Ya know, I got that same ole Tennessee
Am7
615 that you used to hit up
F
A half past where you at pick me up
C
When you're all over him
I hope you're all over me
G
I got a king-size bed
Just missing a Queen
Am7
Make me your first call
After your last call
F
With him
C
And you won't ever be single again
G
Oh, single again
Am Am7 F
Single again
[Chorus]
C
So when you're single again
And you're thinking of me
G
Ya know, I got that same ole Tennessee
Am7
615 that you used to hit up
F
A half past where you at pick me up
C
When you're all over him
I hope you're all over me
G
I got a king-size bed
Just missing a Queen

Make me your first call
After your last call

With him
C
And you won't ever be single again

How to play "Single Again" by Ross Josh involves mastering a set of chords that are
repeated throughout the song, providing a beautiful, melodic structure that serves as
the backbone for its heartfelt lyrics. This song, set in the key of C major and with a
capo on the 1st fret, creates an accessible playing experience for guitarists of all
levels, especially beginners.
The chords used in this song are C, G, Am7, Dm, and F. These chords are common and
among the first set that beginners learn. The progression and the way they are
combined give "Single Again" its distinctive emotional tone.
Before starting, place your capo on the 1st fret. This shifts the pitch of your guitar
up by a half step, allowing you to play chord shapes you're familiar with while still
matching the original key of the song.
[Intro]
There's no specific intro part, so you dive straight into the verses.
[Verse]
The verse starts with a C chord, setting a reflective mood right away:
C
I know I shouldn't say what's up
G
I heard you went and met someone
Am7 Dm
But I've got a little cold beer buzz
F C
And he ain't here right now
The transition from C to G, and then to Am7 and Dm, before finally landing on F and
back to C, mirrors the emotional narrative of the lyrics. The move from the openness
of the C chord to the tension of the Dm, and resolution in F, illustrates the
song's underlying feelings of regret and longing.
[Chorus]
The chorus amplifies the song's emotional weight with a similar chord progression,
emphasizing the singer's mixed feelings about being single again and reminiscing
about a past love:
C
When you're single again
G
Ya know, I got that same ole Tennessee
Am7
615 that you used to hit up
F
A half past where you at pick me up
The chorus, with its repetitive chord pattern, emphasizes the cyclical nature of
thoughts and feelings the singer experiences, driving the song's emotional message
home.
The guitar's rhythm in "Single Again" is as important as the chord changes. A
steady, gentle strumming pattern that follows the tempo of the song can help convey
the introspective and somewhat hopeful mood of the lyrics.
The beauty of this song lies not just in its chords but in the transitions between
them, reflecting the ebb and flow of emotions in the lyrics. As you practice, focus
on making these transitions smooth and on expressing the song's nuanced emotions
through your playing.
Remember, the goal of this Guitar Lesson and Tutorial on "How to play Single Again"
is not just to replicate the chords but to convey the song's emotional depth through
your performance.
