I Love You to Want Me Guitar Chords - Lobo

About I Love You to Want Me

“I Love You to Want Me” (also titled “Me & You & a Dog Named Boo” as an album cut) is a gentle 1972 pop ballad by Lobo, built on a simple D–Em–G–A progression in D Major. With just four open chords and a consistent D DU DU strumming pattern, it is one of the most accessible beginner songs in the pop-folk repertoire. The verse repeats the same chord loop throughout, making it easy to play and sing simultaneously once the chord changes feel natural.

Playing Tips

The D→Em change is the key transition here — practice moving your fingers smoothly between these two shapes. The G chord and A chord are both beginner-friendly open chords. Keep your strumming gentle and melodic — this is a soft ballad, not a driving rock song. Once you can play the verse loop comfortably, try singing the melody at the same time; the chord rhythm is simple enough to make that achievable in one or two practice sessions.
