I Swear Chord Chart by John Michael Montgomery

Welcome to my I Swear chord chart by John Michael Montgomery. This is a timeless classic. Another request from a student enrolled in my online guitar course private Facebook group. Love getting cool songs like this out for students to practice.

Chords overall aren’t too bad. There is an F chord but you could easily replace that with Fmaj7 if barre chords are not your strong point yet.

For this song, I would probably fingerpick it myself on the verses, but I have given you a couple of simple strumming patterns that would work well. If you listen to the song, you will here the guitar light picking a few notes in a 1 + 2 + + 4 + kind of rhythm and pattern.

Tempo: 84 bpm
