Teenage Dream’s chords, progressions, and TAB
Katy Perry‘s Teenage Dream is the lead single from her hugely successful 2010 album.
This wasn’t the only huge single, we also had Fireworks, California Gurls, and Last Friday Night all charting high and selling millions. The album went well over 10 million.
Essentially a two-chord song, Teenage Dreams’ chords only go from I – V. To spice that movement up, we first extend the chords, then add a passing note in the bass.
Depending on if you play in a band or on just one acoustic guitar, Teenage Dream’s chords need to be arranged in different ways.
