How to Play Cheap Thrills by Sia on Guitar

Cheap Thrills by Sia is a perfect beginner guitar song — it uses just four chords (Em, C, G, D) that repeat through virtually the entire track. With a capo on the 2nd fret, you play the correct pitch using comfortable open-chord shapes.

This is one of those songs where knowing the chord shapes isn't enough — the fun is in the strumming pattern and locking into the groove. Aim for a medium-tempo, syncopated 8th-note strum.

Tips for Playing Cheap Thrills

  • Capo 2nd fret — Em/C/G/D shapes play in F#m in concert pitch.
  • The verse and chorus use the same chord pattern; focus on strumming variation.
  • Em → C transition is the most common in pop music — drill it until it's automatic.
