2. Twist and Shout

Chords: D, G, A, A7

Straight from the band’s first album, comes basically three chords song, not counting the A chord variation. All you need to do is play A7, D, G, A in that order for each verse line. I kid you not, that is the entire requirement for this song, from the beginning to the very end. Just listen to it few times to catch the strumming pattern correctly. It will also sound great if you just play a regular A chord instead of A7. The song isn’t the Beatles original, dating back to 1961 when it was first recorded by The Top Notes, vocal rhythm, and blues group.
