You have a favourite spot on the swing set
                                      G
You have no room in your dreams for regrets  (You have no idea)
C/E                                              Fmaj7
    The time will arrive for the cruel and the mean
                                                 C/B
You'll learn to bounce back just like your trampoline
                                  G
But now we'll curtail your curiosity
     C         Am
In     sweetness
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Fmaj7         G        C            Am
      Way to go, tiger  (way to go, tiger)
Fmaj7   G         C      Am
      Higher and higher
Fmaj7    G         C       Am

How to play "Robin" by Taylor Swift on guitar

Playing Style: Use a gentle strumming pattern throughout
the song to match the soft and introspective tone of the
lyrics. Focus on clean transitions between chords to
maintain the song's calm flow.

[Intro]
- Strum each chord once and let them ring to set a
  reflective mood.
  C -> Fmaj7 -> C/B -> Fmaj7

[Verse 1]
- Maintain a consistent strumming pattern: Down-Down-Up-
  Up-Down-Up. This will give the verse a flowing, rhythmic
  feel.
  "Long may you reign, You're an animal..."
  C -> Fmaj7 -> C/B -> Fmaj7

[Pre-Chorus]
- For "Strings tied to levers..." increase the dynamics
  slightly to build up to the chorus.
  Am -> Fmaj7 -> C/B -> F -> C -> Am

[Chorus]
- Here, maintain the strumming pattern but emphasize the
  first strum of each chord change to highlight the
  chorus's lyrical message.
  "Way to go, tiger, Higher and higher..."
  Fmaj7 -> G -> C -> Am

[Instrumental Break]
- Similar to the Intro, let the chords ring to give the
  listeners a moment to reflect on the lyrics.
  C -> Fmaj7 -> C/B -> Fmaj7

[Verse 2 & Pre-Chorus]
- Repeat the same strumming pattern and progression as the
  first verse and pre-chorus.

[Bridge]
- Slow down the strumming here and focus on the narrative
  storytelling in the lyrics.
  "You got the dragonflies above your bed..."
  C/E -> Fmaj7 -> C/B -> G

[Chorus]
- Repeat the chorus as earlier, maintaining the strong
  emotional delivery.
  Fmaj7 -> G -> C -> Am

General Tips:
- Tuning: Ensure your guitar is tuned to standard tuning
  (E A D G B E).
- Practice the chord transitions slowly at first and
  gradually increase speed as you become more comfortable.
- Focus on the emotional delivery to connect with the song's
  message.

Lyrics Meaning:
This song portrays a scene of innocence and youth, mixed
with a touch of whimsy and surrealism. The lyrics evoke
imagery of a childlike ruler, playful yet unaware of the
weight of their words, creating a narrative that reflects
both sweetness and a naive harshness.
