I will go through each section of the song in the order that they appear. That is sometimes a bit uncomfortable for some players, so I will demonstrate the more conventional way of playing those chords in addition to the way Jeff Lynne actually plays them so you can decide what you like the best.

Jeff Lynne typically fingers his bar chords the way Jimi Hendrix did, with his thumb playing the notes that occur on the low E string. There are some really nice chord progressions in this one as well, and for most of them you can choose a couple of different ways to play them. "Livin' Thing" is a propelled by driving acoustic guitar rhythms and great vocal melodies. Written by the great Jeff Lynne and released in 1976, "Livin' Thing" became a hit single for ELO.
