Gloria by The Lumineers - Guitar Chords

<< Back to The Lumineers Song List
Version 2
            Piano players: Transpose +4 to get back to the original key (key of B)
Note: I included guitar and piano chords together in this version. Hit simplify if it's too complex for you.

There are many lovely ways to play C/G in this song. You could play a C/G, Gsus4, or Cadd9/G (see below).
To play the Cadd9/G chord, use your middle finger for both the E and A string.

The D/F# chord is easier played as a Dsus4/F# (see below).

      C/G     Gsus4   Cadd9/G         Dsus4/F#
