This is a great tune by a top band but thankfully its not too difficult to play.

The chords for the song Hey Soul Sister by Train are E major, B major, C#minor and A major. If you are a beginner guitarist, its understandable if you find the thought of the B and C#minor a little intimidating. They can involve a barre. Fear not though.

To mimic the sound of the ukulele which is used in the actual recording you will need to play with a capo at the 4th fret.
Then you can use the chord shapes of  C major, G major, A minor and F major. If you are new to the guitar you should find these shapes easier to play.

The challenge may be the strumming pattern. I play it using a down, down, down up, down up, pattern.

Have listen through the song a few times and try and get the feel of it into your ears. Then follow the chart and lyrics below and see if you can get into the groove of it.
Good luck
