attitude. The use of power chords like E5, A5, G5, and D5 helps to drive the
rhythm and enhances the bold lyrics of the song.
Tuning and Setup:
- Ensure your guitar is in standard tuning. The simplicity of power chords
means you don't need any alternative tunings.
- Consider using a guitar with a good distortion setting to capture the gritty,
raw sound of the track.
Intro and Interlude:
- The song starts with a sequence of E5 and A5 power chords, setting a robust
and rhythmic foundation. Strum these chords with strong downstrokes to maintain
the energy.
- The pattern E5, A5, E5, A5, E5, A5, E5, D5, A5, G5, E5 should be played
assertively, preparing the listener for the song's dynamic verses.
Verse Chords:
- The verses continue with the power chords, predominantly E5 and G5, with
quick transitions to A5 and D5. These transitions are crucial for emphasizing
certain lyrical phrases like "Why sip when you can chug-alug?"
- Maintain rhythmic precision here, as the power of the song lies in its
consistent and punchy rhythm.
Chorus Chords:
- The chorus ramps up the energy with a sequence of E5, A5, and G5. The repetition
of these chords matches the repetitive and catchy lyrical hooks.
- Pay attention to dynamics. Increase your strumming intensity to highlight the
chorus's call-to-action spirit.
Strumming Pattern:

first and then speed up as you become more comfortable.
Lyrics Meaning:
"Chicken Shit" uses vivid, colloquial language to discuss themes of courage and
authenticity. The lyrics encourage taking bold actions and facing challenges
head-on, metaphorically rejecting the notion of being 'chicken shit'—a phrase
commonly used to describe someone who is cowardly.

and lyrics, you'll be able to perform this song with the necessary vigor and
attitude it demands. Keep rocking!
