Flowers Chords
Flowers by Regina Spektor is a beginner-friendly guitar song played in the key of C. It uses the chords C. Use the transpose and diagram tools on this page to change the key, see each shape, or simplify the chords.
The tuning for this song is EbADGBE. So like standard, but the low E is tuned down a half-step.
Requires a liiittle bit of stretching, but I found this to be the most comfortable way
to play the song.
I left out the outro parts because I'd have to drop the low E string down to C, which
would make the song much less comfortable to play. Maybe the ending could be a place to
improvise! If anyone comes up with another arrangement that allows for one to
comfortably play the WHOLE song, I would really love to see it!
