Intro (x2): E B Emaj7

Verse 1:
 E                        B            Emaj7
Think I saw you on the bus just yesterday
 E        B                    Emaj
Wearing that blue shirt you said you liked that day
 E          B          Emaj7
The image now is just blurred in my mind
 
Chorus:
       E        B      E             B
But do you recall the time we talked?
     E        B         Gb
The day you held my hand?
             Emaj7    B
We were by a station
     Emaj7           B
The sky was dark in sight
     Emaj7               B                Gb
The moon was out but the sun was in your eyes
                Emaj7   B
No one talked but I did
   Emaj7     B
You listened
  Emaj       B          Gb       B
You said you liked the way I spoke
 
Verse 2:
E                        B             Emaj7
I think I saw you in my dream last night
E         B              Emaj7
It was cold with lots of pretty lights
E           B                      Emaj
The image now is just blurred in my mind
 
Chorus:
       E         B     E            B
But do you recall the time we talked?
    E        B       Gb
The day you kissed me?
              Emaj7   B
We were by an archway
   Emaj7  B      Emaj7  B          Gb
With flowers cascading round the roof
                  Emaj7   B       Emaj7   B
Standing under my winter coat to shelter us
     Emaj7    B         Gb        B
You said you liked the way I spoke
 
   Emaj7      B       Gb        B
And if you'd like to hold my hand
        Emaj7        B        Gb         B
It would bring back all the things we had
       Emaj      B       Gb          B
And if God were to take that all away
Emaj7         B        Gb
Wouldn't that be a shame?
 
Outro (x4): Emaj7 B Gb B

How to play The Way I Spoke on ukulele

Try the down-up eighths as a starting point: d u d u. On this page the song is in B major. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Want friendlier shapes? Drop it 4 half-steps, then a capo on fret 4 restores the key you see here. Drive it with fast down-ups and hit the chorus harder.
