Let Her Go Chords — Passenger

How to Play Let Her Go by Passenger on Guitar

Let Her Go by Passenger is one of the most-searched acoustic guitar songs in the world. With a capo on the 7th fret, the song uses F, C, G, and Am shapes that create the emotional minor-key feel of the original.

The distinctive intro fingerpicking pattern (Am/F/G/Em) is what makes the song recognisable instantly — practise this slowly before adding the full strumming pattern.

Tips for Playing Let Her Go

• Capo 7th fret — Am/F/C/G shapes play in Em/C/G/D in concert pitch.
• The iconic intro uses fingerpicking: thumb on Am bass note, fingers on F/G/Em arpeggios.
• The N.C. ending (no chord, one strum) is a dramatic moment — nail the silence after it.
