Taylor Swift “Love Story” Guitar Chords
This is the song that led to all of this! Way back, I had heard it here and there for a few months when it had first come out and then I just really fell in love with it. I came across the opportunity to mess around with a guitar and decided: I’M GOING TO LEARN TO PLAY “LOVE STORY’! I went to YouTube and found a tutorial for the song and the rest is history:) It took me weeks before I could transition between chords and kinda sorta play the song. I could never get the strumming down on songs and always would ask contributors “Whats the strumming pattern??” It all just came together after long days/weeks/months, sore fingers and my families tired ears of hearing me practicing and practicing before it had all just clicked :) I’ve never looked back! I’ve decided to tab this because the version I use, which in general does have the right chords, still has missing chords, misplaced chords and terribly wrong lyrics throughout, so I did my own :)
Play along-
Live Love Guitar song request guitar chords for: LLG
STANDARD TUNING CAPO ON 2 (*= one strum) Intro- C G Am F C We were both young when I first saw you F I close my eyes and the flashback starts Am F I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air C See the lights, See the party, the ball gowns F See you make your way through the crowd Am You say "Hello" G Little did I know... F G That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles Am C And my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet" F And I was crying on the staircase G Am F Begging you "Please don't go" G And I said... C Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone G I'll be waiting all that's left to do is run Am Am* Am/D* [xx0210] You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess F G G*/mute C It's a love story, baby just say: "Yes" C So I sneak out to the garden to see you F We keep quiet cause we're dead if they knew Am G So close your eyes, escape this town for a little while, oh oh F G 'Cause you were Romeo I was a scarlet letter Am C And my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet" F But you were everything to me G Am F And I was begging you "Please don't go" G And I said... C Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone G I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run Am Am* Am/D* [xx0210] You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess F G It's a love story, baby just say "Yes" C Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel G This love is difficult, but its real Am Am* Am/D* Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess F G It's a love story, baby just say "Yes" C G Am F G Oh Oh Am* F* C* G* I got tired of waiting, wondering if you were ever coming around Am* F* My faith in you was fading C* G* Then I met you on the outskirts of town and I said... (palm mute) C Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone G I keep waiting for you but you never come Am Is this in my head? I don't know what to think F G G*/mute He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said: D Marry me Juliet you'll never have to be alone A I love you, and that's all I really know Bm A* I talked to your dad- go pick out a white dress G A D It's a love story, baby just say "Yes" A Oh, oh, oh Bm oh, oh, oh, oh G D* 'Cause we were very young when I first saw you

About LLG♥
Hello there! I’m a wife, mother and self-taught guitarist. I first picked up a guitar in 2010 and haven’t put it down since! I’m not that great of a player, but I get by. Besides, my talent isn’t in the playing, it’s in the ears ;)
I first discovered I had an ear for transcribing music while playing tabs on Ultimate Guitar. So many of them were just wrong! I started making correct versions and it just grew from there. I left UG having tabbed over 300 songs on that site. (I was the #1 Daily Most Popular Contributor for over 2 years straight, now I’m down to #7. Not bad since I haven’t posted a tab on UG in many years!)
In 2013 I created Live Love Guitar and amazingly enough, I’m still here! I’m just a little site but I think users know they can count on correct, well formatted tabs. I try to make my tabs as easy as possible while still being correct. This makes a huge difference for new players! I would have quit playing had I not learned the beauty of a capo and transposing :) My capo is my best friend!! (If you don’t have a capo, you must get one! It makes the world of difference for beginners! Go now! Then come back to Live Love Guitar and play away!)
Thanks for visiting and I hope I can keep up with all the song requests being submitted, keeping Live Love Guitar alive! :)
Yeah pls put on the strumming pattern n every song
This song happens to be very simple/easy strumming so I’m able to do a pattern (it’s below in ‘fragilistic’s” comment) but on more difficult songs it really hard for me to put on paper what I’m actually doing! I think this is where lessons would have come in handy ;) So that’s why I don’t add strumming patterns on every song. I just try to help out with strumming when it’s specifically asked for :)
How to strum pls
Hi, I strum it like this- dddudu dddudu…. I think that’s through the entire song (other than the noted *one strums.) Play along with the music and follow the beat. Hope that helps :)
