Bachelor Boy Guitar Chords — Cliff Richard | Key of D Major

About This Song

Bachelor Boy by Cliff Richard (1962) is a classic three-chord rock 'n' roll song that every beginner guitarist should learn. Using only D, G, and A — the I, IV, and V chords of D Major — it demonstrates one of the most fundamental chord relationships in Western music. The same D–G–A pattern drives both the verse and chorus, so the song is almost effortless to play once you have those three chord shapes memorised. The D DU DU strumming pattern gives it that classic 60s rhythmic bounce. No capo is needed. This song is a staple in beginner guitar lessons at JBX Music, Mumbai.
