“Shout” was released in 1984 by British band Tears for Fears and became an iconic song of the 80’s. There have been some great covers of it over the years too, my favourite is the one by Disturbed 🙂

It’s relatively easy to play, with a slow pace and a simple melody – these letter notes are perfect for beginners on most instruments 🙂
