Guitar Chords for I Want Crazy by Hunter Hayes

You only need four basic chord shapes to play this song: D, Bm, G, and A. The change from D to G will be tricky if you’re unfamiliar with the G chord, but all you need to do is keep your 3rd finger on the 3rd fret of the B string, and have your pinky finger ready to play the 3rd fret of the high E string. The idea behind this is to conserve your fret hand motion and make smooth chord changes.
