How to Play "Ours" by Taylor Swift on Piano

Introduction

In this video, I'm going to teach you how to play "Ours" by Taylor Swift on the piano. We'll start by learning the intro, followed by the chorus, second verse, bridge, and a dramatic ending. So let's get started and have some fun!

Playing the Intro

The intro of "Ours" is actually played throughout the verses. We'll begin with the right hand, holding the notes G and C, then moving to D and back to G. Meanwhile, the left hand plays a simple C chord. If you find this part challenging, you can simplify it by playing a C chord instead. Let's move on to the chorus.

Playing the Chorus

The chorus of "Ours" consists of simple chords. With your left hand, play an F chord, followed by a G, C, and A minor chord. When transitioning between the F and G chords, skip the A and go directly to G. The lyrics for the chorus are: "Don't you worry your pretty little mind. People throw rocks at things that shine, but they can't take what's ours."

Playing the Second Verse

For the second verse, you only need to play a C chord with your left hand while corresponding with the melody on the right. The lyrics are similar to the first verse: "Don't you worry your pretty little mind. People throw rocks at things that shine, but they can't take what's ours."

Playing the Bridge

Now let's move on to the bridge. With your left hand, play an F chord. The melody follows the chords F, F, E, G, G, C, D, and A minor. This part is a bit more complex, but with practice, you'll get the hang of it. Remember, the left hand always corresponds with the melody on the right. The lyrics for the bridge are: "And it's not theirs to speculate if it's wrong. Your hands are tough, but they are where mine belong."

Conclusion

That's how you play "Ours" by Taylor Swift on the piano! Feel free to add your own touch to the ending, as long as it includes a C chord or a descending pattern like C/B or C/A. Remember, the key is to have fun and enjoy the music. Keep practicing, and soon you'll be playing this song like a pro.
