Hermans Hermits Songs
On The Acoustic

Can't You Hear My Heartbeat, sometimes called Baby Baby Can't You Hear My Heartbeat, was recorded by Herman's Hermits in 1965 and was a #2 hit for them on the Hot Billboard 100 charts.

In the UK, Silhouettes was the A-side and this song was the B-side.

I play this one in standard tuning with the three chords A, D and E using adown up stop up down up stop up rhythm pattern with a few drum roll shuffles. No lead work required here.

I Understand can be found on the album The Best If Herman's Hermits which was released as a disc set in 2015. This song sounds much like the New Years Eve classic Auld Lang Syne and I can't find any into on the song itself and why it was written in this manner.

In standard tuning and a capo 2nd fret you'll play a down down up down down up down and repeat rhythm pattern with a few down stroke chops added in. A bit of lead with the chords D, A, G  and a D7.

I'm Into Something Good was co-written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King and was released in 1964.

The song reached #1 in the UK for Herman's Hermits and it was their debut single. A great way to break into the music business.

This one has a capo 4th fret with some lead playing the chords G, C, G7, D and an A7. For rhythm play a down up down up down up down up with a few bass runs blended in while in standard tuning.

Mrs Brown (You've Got A Lovely Daughter) was a popular novelty song in the UK at parties and the like and was recorded  by actor Tom Courtenay for a play called The Lads first in 1963.

The Hermits recorded their version in 1965 but the song was never released in the UK as a single as the group thought it was not a song to be taken seriously.

Like another song they never released in the UK called I'm Henry VIII I Am. But surprisingly the song was #1 in both Canada and the US.

This one has a down up down up rhythm pattern in standard tuning and no lead. Play the chords C, Em, Dm7, G, Am, A#, Gm, D# and a Gb.

No Milk Today was not released as a single in the US but was a #7 hit in the UK back in 1966.

The band 10cc's member Graham Gouldman wrote this song for Hermans Hermits, which was his second behind a #3 hit called Listen People.

Over the years the song has been used in several milk commercials and in the Sons Of Anarchy soundtrack. The song was a #1 in Norway and Australia. 

For this one I play a down up stop up down up stop up and repeat rhythm pattern with no lead in standard tuning. The chords you'll need are Am, C, E7, A, G, D and E.

Silhouettes was released in 1965, Silhouettes was a #5 hit in the US and a #3 in the UK. The song was a #1 in Canada.

The Rays first recorded the song in 1957 and Cliff Richard did a version in 1990.

This one has some lead with the chords G, Em, C, D, D7 and Am while playing a root down up root up down up and repeat rhythm pattern in standard tuning.

There's A Kind Of Hush was released in 1967 and reached #4 in the US, #7 in the UK and #2 in Canada.

Herman's Hermits and The New Vaudville Band both released this song around the same time, but the Hermits version was more successful.

The Carpenters also covered the song in 1976. This is still one of the most popular Herman's Hermits songs on the radio.

This one also in standard tuning with a root up down up root up down up rhythm pattern and then you can use a rake pattern in spots as you'll see and a root down up down up shuffle if you want to play it that way. Some lead required here with the chords G, C, E7, Am, F, Dm and Fmaj7.
