Intro: G A D Bm G A Placing a smile at the perfect event, D Bm Gracing your skin with the side of my hand, G A If I ever leave, I could learn to miss you, D Bm But sentimental boy as my nom de plume. G A D Bm Let me save you, hold this rope. Chorus: G A D Bm I may never sleep tonight, G A D Bm As long as you're still burning bright, G A If I could trade mistakes for sheep, D Bm Count me away before you sleep, G A I'll still wait 'til I trade my mistakes D Bm So they fade away. Interlude: G A D Bm G A I feel marooned in this body, D Bm Deserted my organs, could go on without me, G A You can't fly these wings, D Bm You can't sleep in this box with me, G A D Bm Let me save you, hold this rope. Chorus: G A D Bm I may never sleep tonight, G A D Bm As long as you're still burning bright, G A If I could trade mistakes for sheep, D Bm Count me away before you sleep, G A I'll still wait 'til I trade my mistakes D Bm So they fade away. Bridge: G A D Bm So let me save you, hold this rope, And I'll pull you in, G A D 'Cause I am an anchor, save her, Bm Oh, I feel it sinking in, G A D Bm Let me save you, hold this rope, G A D Bm I am an anchor sinking her. -ho, oh, oh, oh- I may never sleep tonight, As long as you're still burning bright. G A If I could trade mistakes for sheep, D Bm Count me away before you sleep, G A I'll still wait 'til I trade my mistakes D Bm So they fade away.
Okay this song sounded too high pitch for me on my standard uke and I don’t have a capo so I figured out how to play it correctly without one after applying one of the comments to it. So using “Legs on the menu” ‘s comment with the song is correct. Here is what I think is the right chords and in order
Verses: Ab, Bb, Eb, Cm
Pre chorus: Ab Bb Eb Bb
Chorus: Ab Bb Eb Cm
Bridge: Ab Bb Eb Cm
I make up my own strum patterns so have at it with that.
This should completely wrong someone agree
the verses sound much better with going D, A, Bm, G than G, A, D, Bm. The chorus is fine though. Hope this helps !
Try a capo on fret 1 🙂
yeah -2 transposer is way easier
i love this song too
+3 or +5 is easy 🙂
If you do this at +1 it should be the original key 🙂
-2 is really easy
if you do -2 it’s so much easier
