Step 1: The Verse

The chords you need to know for the verse of Hey Soul Sister are E, B, C sharp minor and A. That covers all the chords for the song. The song begins with a series of "Heey heeeey heyyyys", with the same chord progression going all the way through the first verse of "Your lipstick stains on the front lobe of my left side brains, I knew I wouldn't forget ya so I let you blow my mind". Keep in mind that this is a guitar song, and you can't strum a piano so you'll need to come up with your own rhythm, or keep it simple with the basic chords.

Step 2: The Chorus

Start with A then B, E, B, A. Repeat this configuration through the entire chorus of "Hey soul sister, aint that Mister Mister on the radio stereo? The way you move aint fair you know. Hey soul sister I don't want to miss a single thing you do tonight" then back to the "heeeeys" like in the beginning of the song.

Step 3: The Ending

Hey Soul Sister consists of just four chords, E, B, C sharp minor and A throughout the song and can be alternated with rhythm or played individually on the one. This way the song can be as simple or as embellished as you like. The song ends on the key of E for the word "tonight".
