This song features a mix of open chords that are common in many pop and country
songs, making it a great piece for beginners to practice chord transitions and strumming
patterns. The structure of the song is quite straightforward, with a repeating chord
progression that makes it easier to follow along. Let's break it down:
Intro & Verses:
The intro and verses of "Drinks Drunk" follow a simple chord progression that lays the
foundation for the song's melody and mood.
Chord Progression for Intro: Am, D, G
Start with an A minor chord (Am), then move to D major (D), and finally to G major (G).
This progression is played once for the intro and sets the tone for the verses.
Verse Chord Progression: G, G, Em, Em, C, D
Each verse starts with G major (G) for the first two lines, emphasizing the narrative's start.
The repetition of G major helps in establishing a solid rhythmic base.
Then, switch to E minor (Em) for the next two lines, introducing a slight melancholy
touch before moving to a hopeful tone with C major (C).
Conclude the verse progression with D major (D), creating a seamless transition
into the pre-chorus or chorus, depending on the section of the song.
Pre-Chorus:
The pre-chorus introduces a slight variation in the chord progression, which
adds to the build-up towards the chorus.
Chord Progression: G, Em, C, D
It starts with G major, then moves to E minor, followed by C major, and ends on
D major.
This progression is played once and serves as a bridge between the verse and the
chorus, adding tension and anticipation.
Chorus:
The chorus is where the song opens up, with the chord progression designed to
lift the mood and engage listeners.
Chord Progression: Am, D, G, Am, D, G, Am, D, G
The chorus follows a repeating pattern of A minor, D major, and G major.
This sequence is repeated three times, with the last line ending on G major to
round off the chorus.
Guitar Solo:
The guitar solo section uses the chords from the chorus, providing an instrumental
break that maintains the song's energy.
Chord Progression: G, Em, C, D
This progression is similar to the pre-chorus, offering a cohesive sound that bridges
the song's sections.

conclude the song.
Chord Progression:
D, Am, D, G, Am, D, G, Am, D, G, Am, D, G, Am, D, Em, Am, Am, D, G
This progression includes all the elements of the chorus but adds an extra
line with Em to Am before the final "Let's get these drinks drunk."
Playing Tips:
Focus on smooth transitions between chords, especially when moving from
G to Em and C to D, as these changes are frequent throughout the song.
For strumming, start with a simple down-up pattern, maintaining a steady rhythm.
As you get comfortable, you can add nuances to match the song's dynamics.
Pay attention to the lyrics and chord changes to express the song's playful
and uplifting mood effectively.
