Editor’s Notes
Here’s an acoustic lesson teaching Go Flex by Post Malone. This is a bit of a tricky one, with regard to the chords you’ll need… but I’ll show you some tips with the capo to simplify things. Enjoy!

This is one of my few lessons that doesn't have a printable song sheet / PDF available. If you'd like to request I make one, let me know by clicking the button below! If there's enough demand I'll bump it toward the top of the list.

Capo to make things easier?
If you want, you can dodge the B-flat and F chords by using a capo (which lets you play along with the album version of this song). I won’t break it down in detail here, but the cheat sheet to do such is this:
I III IV V vi
----------------------
No Capo F A Bb C Dm
Capo 1 E G# A B C#m
Capo 3 D F# G A Bm
Capo 5 C E F G Am
Note, you’ll need to use barre chords one way or another, for the most part.
Chord progression
Intro / verse / pre-chorus:
Bb . . . F . . . C . . . Dm . . . (repeat)
Chorus / post-chorus:
A . Bb . F . C . (repeat)
Strumming
Use all down strums, ideally accenting every other strum. Throw in a down-up just before every chord change:
DOWN down DOWN down DOWN down DOWN down up
DOWN down DOWN down DOWN down DOWN down up
DOWN down DOWN down DOWN down DOWN down up
etc
Lyrics
Lighting stog after stog, choke on the smoke
They tell me to quit, don't listen what I'm told
Help me forget that this world is so cold
I don't even know what I'm chasin' no more
Tell me what I wantjust keep searchin' on
It's never enough, cup after cup,
blunt after blunt I wouldn't give one
if I could find a fuck, ha, ha, ha
In the cut and I put that on my momma
And my bitch called talkin' 'bout some drama
I swear there ain't no time for women on the come up
It's either the pussy or the commas
Man I just wanna go flex
Gold on my teeth and on my neck
And I'm stone cold with the flex
With my squad and I'm smokin' up a check
(repeat)
Push the gas, get a motherfuckin' nose bleed
She ain't never met a youngin' do it like me
She got a man but says she really like me
She doin' things to excite me
She sending all her friends snaps of my new tracks
'Cause all these hoes know whats about to come next
I hit my plug up, got the paper connect
I drop a couple bands I just wanna go
[ chorus x 1 ]
Knowing all of this
It just don’t make a difference
I’m just talking shit to the ones that will listen
I come with the heat man, I swear I’m never missing
And I’m still the same and I swear I’m never switching
(repeat)
[ chorus x 2 ]
Hope that helps!
Let me know if you have questions.
