It's a Talking Heads favorite folks! Break out the Groceries and Peanut Butter! This has pretty simple chords but the chord changes are rather quick if the song is played at the normal tempo. No Capo This is how I do the strum pattern. If you have a difficult time, just have fun and make your own strum pattern. Also, if you have a difficult time switching chords rapidly, instead of C-A-C-A, you could play C-X-C-A. Simply muting the middle switch instead.
