[Bridge]
             Em9                        Em
And when you wake up next to him in the middle of the night
           Em9                               Em
With your head in your hands, you're nothing more than his wife
             Em9                         Em
And when you think about me all of those years ago
                Em9                  Em
You're standing face to face with "I told you so"
           N.C.
You know I hate to say it, I told you so
           Em9                   Em
You know I hate to say it but, I told you so

Make a new excuse, another stupid reason
       G                                     A
Good luck babe (well good luck), well good luck babe (well good luck)

How to play "Good Luck, Babe!" by Chappell Roan on guitar

[Intro]
Chords: G, A, D, Bm.

- To set the tone for the intro, strum each chord once.
- Allow each chord to ring out before proceeding to the next.

[Verse 1.]
Chords: G, A, D, Bm.
- To play G, press the third fret of the low E string, the second fret of the A string,
and the third fret of the high E and B strings.

- To play D, press the second fret of the G string, the third fret of the B string,
and the second fret of the high E string.
- To play a barre chord (Bm), bar the 2nd fret and place fingers on the 4th
and 3rd frets of the D and G strings, respectively.

Strumming Pattern:
- A basic down, down, up, up, down, up pattern creates a comfortable vibe.
- Emphasise the first beat of each measure.

[Pre-Chorus]
Chords: Em 9, Em
- To play Em9, press the 2nd and 4th frets of the A and D strings while leaving the other strings open.
- Em is played by pushing the second fret on the A and D strings.
- To increase tension, use a more syncopated strumming rhythm.

Chorus chords: G, A, D, Bm.

- Highlight melodic changes by emphasizing chord transitions.

[Verse 2.]
Chords: G, A, D, Bm.

- Aim for seamless chord transitions.

[Interlude] Chords: Em9 and Em
