The Seekers' "I'll Never Find Another You" is a classic folk-pop song, originally performed with bright acoustic guitars and rich vocal harmonies. The original is played at a moderate tempo and has a gentle, uplifting feel, which is perfect for beginner guitarists.
Chords and Progression
The song mainly uses open chords: G, C, D, D7, A7, Bm, and Em.
Bm is the only barre chord, but you can substitute it with Bm7 if barre chords are difficult.
Practice transitioning between G, C, and D, as these are used throughout the song and intro.
Strumming Pattern
A simple down-down-up-up-down-up pattern works well.
Try: D D U U D U, keeping your wrist relaxed and the tempo steady.
For verses, play softly; for choruses, strum a bit stronger to add dynamics.
Tips for Beginners
1. Practice the chord changes slowly, especially G to C and C to D.
2. Use a capo on the 2nd fret if you want to match the original key, but it's optional.
3. Pay attention to the D7 chord at the end of each verse and chorus as it leads back to G.
4. For the Bm chord, try Bm7 (x20202) as an easier alternative.
Stay relaxed, sing along, and enjoy the gentle folk feel of this timeless classic.
