Song Tabs

 Hank Williams Jr’s "Queen Of My Heart" is a country ballad with simple chord progressions and a gentle, heartfelt feel. The original recording features acoustic guitar at its core, making it very approachable for beginner players.

## Chords Used

A, Asus2, Asus4, D, E, G

## Chord Tips

• A, Asus2, and Asus4 are played in quick succession; keep your index finger anchored on the second fret of the D string for smooth transitions.
• To play Asus2 and Asus4, only lift or add your ring/pinkie fingers as needed from the regular A chord shape.
• Practice moving between A, D, and E, as these are commonly used in the verses and chorus.

## Strumming Pattern

A gentle down-down-up-up-down-up (D-D-U-U-D-U) pattern fits well. Keep your strumming hand relaxed for a country feel.

## Techniques

• During the intro and between lines, cycle through A, Asus4, A, Asus2. Try counting four beats per chord change.
• For the G chord in the chorus, use the most comfortable fingering. Moving to D and back to A is straightforward from G.
• When ending lines on [A], let the chord ring slightly before transitioning to Asus4 or Asus2.

## General Tips

Play slowly at first, focusing on clean chord changes. The repeated Asus4/Asus2 embellishments add color—don’t rush them. Listen to the original for timing and feel. With practice, the transitions will become smooth and natural.
