Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’s chords, progressions, TAB

This is one of those rare occasions when the chords are harder to read than play, let’s break down what’s going on with Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’s chords and you’ll see how this is actually pretty easy to play.

The intro chords are what come back as an instrumental and chorus. This is the hook for the song so let’s start with this, here’s what they are:

||: Gbsus4 Gb Db/Gb Gb | Gbsus4 Gb Db/Gb Gb/Bb Db |
| Gbsus4/Eb Ebm7 Db/Eb Ebm7 | Gbsus4/Eb Ebm7 Db/Eb B Db :||

Looks really hard, right? It’s actually much easier than it looks, let’s pick this apart using TAB.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun chords, TAB main riff. — Girls Just Wanna Have Fun chords, TAB of the main riff

In bar 1, we first hammer onto a sus4, then go back to a straight Gb. This is followed by a Db, then back to the Gb. It says Db/Gb but that’s just because the bass is playing Gb throughout.

Should you want to make it really simple you could think of it as Gbsus4 Gb Db Gb.

In bar 2, we play exactly the same thing again just adding a Db again at the end. Just like I mentioned earlier, the Db/Gb is there just to indicate that the bass is playing Gb.

In bar 3, we play exactly what happened in bar 1, although the bass plays Eb, making the chords mainly Ebm7, not Gb.

In bar 4, we finally get some variation as we play B – Db on the last two beats.

During the outro, this riff is simplified by using only bars 1 and 4.

The verse is much simpler and unusually, 9 bars long. Notice how the chords remind us of the main riff:

| Gb | Gb | Ebm | Ebm |
| B | B | Ebm Db | B | Ebm Db |

The bridge is, again, sticking with the theme, like this:

| Gb | Gb | Ebm | Ebm |
| Gb | Gb | Ebm Db | B | Ebm Db |

Finally, the solo is also very similar to what we already established, just with some small tweaks, like this:

| Gb | Gb (Bb) | Ebm | Ebm |
| Gb | Gb (Bb Db) | Ebm | Ebm B Db |
