Best Mistake chords by Ariana Grande (Ver. 5)

Note: No Capo Needed, All Barre Chords.

These chords are slightly different than other versions but it’s easier to pick up if you can barre,
and I think the D#m/Ebm (668876), with the A#m/Bbm (688666) sound better, and go better with the
song than the Gm (466444) in the other versions.

Notes:
In case you want to sound more like the original you could replace the F after the A#m/Bbm with an A#m7
shape barred on 1 (xx3221). But only replace the F chord after the A#m/Bbm- don’t replace the F at the end
 of the sequence with anything.

Also If you are feeling adventurous/dexterous and don’t feel like barring all the way up to 6th fret you
could try replacing the D#m/Ebm (668876)with a Dm shape barred on 1 (x11342) then
replace the 6th fret A#m/Bbm with the normal one on the first fret, then right into the F#/Gb etc…

Lastly if you can’t manage the Fsus (133311) then you can skip it straight to the F and it will basically
 sound the same

Chords Needed: A#m/Bbm  F  D#m/Ebm  A#m/Bbm  F#/Gb  Fsus  F
