"Thinkin' Bout" by Kenny Chesney is a song that delves into the complexities
of love and the struggle to move on. Here’s how to capture the essence
of this emotionally charged tune on your guitar.

Chord Progression
The song features a smooth, flowing progression that moves through
Gmaj7, A, Bm, and Dmaj7 chords. These chords create a reflective
and somewhat melancholic mood, fitting the song's themes perfectly.

Verse 1
Begin with the Gmaj7 chord, reflecting on the coldness left behind in
a once-warm bed. Transition to A, then to Bm, illustrating the back-and-forth
nature of a relationship without strings. The sequence ends on Dmaj7,
posing a question about the cycle of returning to one another.

Pre-Chorus
The pre-chorus shifts to a more introspective mood, starting again with
Gmaj7 and moving through A and Bm, finally landing on D. This part
reflects the internal conflict of falling in just to fall apart, highlighting
the need to perhaps stop this cycle.

Chorus
The chorus uses D, Gmaj7, A, and Bm, expressing the longing to stop
thinking about a past love. It captures the difficulty of trying to move on
from the highs of a relationship that has ended, despite knowing it's
not good to continue holding on.

Verse 2 and Chorus
These sections follow the same chord patterns as the first verse and
chorus, further exploring the theme of wanting to quit this pattern of
reminiscence and the challenge of doing so.

Guitar Solo and Bridge
The guitar solo and bridge follow the established chord progression,
offering a musical reflection of the song's emotional landscape.
The bridge, echoing the pre-chorus, delves deeper into the emotional
turmoil of trying to let go.

Outro
The outro revisits the song's core theme, using the same chord progression
to close out the song with a lingering thought of trying not to think about
the person anymore.

Playing Tips
- Emphasize the smooth transition between chords to maintain the song's
reflective tone.
- Pay attention to the emotional weight of the lyrics as you play, allowing
the chords to resonate with the story being told.
- The use of Gmaj7 and Dmaj7 chords adds a rich, emotional depth to
the song. Make sure to let these chords ring out to fully capture the song's essence.
