Hey There Delilah ChordsLearn how to play Hey There Delilah by Plain White T's!The intro and verse of 'Hey There Delilah' move between chord I and III, giving us an uncertain feel, compare to 'Whistle For The Choir' where the progression moves on. Make sure you get the same feeling over chord III. The chorus with its very clever bass line between chord VI and I is usually only heard in the key of C. The key to a successful guitar part lies within how you vary simple concepts. Familiarity, with a twist Again we can see how familiarity with a twist is a winning concept for world wide success, the twist is in the chord shape. A 'D shaped chord' sounds different to a 'C shaped chord'. Guru is completely convinced that had the guitar been played with a capo on fret 2, strumming the chord shapes of C and Am, for the chorus, and C and Em for the verse,'Hey There Delilah' would never have made it. The twist is the chord shapeSo when you want to write your next stadium acoustic hit, take a progression that has been used a million times, change one significant thing, and make that fit. For the melody?
