Verse 1: Eb Ebmaj7 Wait a minute, let me finish Ab Bb I know you don't care, but can you listen? Eb Ebmaj7 I came committed, guess I overdid it Ab Bb [nc] Wore my heart out on a chain, around my neck, but now it's missin', hmm Chorus: Eb Ebmaj7 (Da-da da-da da-da) hmm Ab Bb (Da-da da-da da-da umm) oh, hmm-hmm hmm-hmm Chorus 1: Eb Ebmaj7 So I think I better go, I never really know Ab Bb How to please you, you're lookin' at me like I'm see-through Eb Ebmaj7 I guess I'm gonna go, I just never know Ab Bb How you feel, do you even feel anything? Chorus: Eb Ebmaj7 Da-da da-da da-da dumm Ab Bb Da-da da-da da-da dumm, hmm-hmm hmm-hmm Verse 2: Eb Ebmaj7 You said, "don't treat me badly", but you said it so sadly Ab Bb So I did the best I could not thinkin' you would have left me gladly Eb Ebmaj7 I know you're not sorry, why should you be? Ab Bb [nc] 'Cause who am I to be in love, when your love never is for me, me Chorus: Eb Ebmaj7 Da-da da-da da-da dumm Ab Bb Da-da da-da da-da dumm, hmm-hmm hmm-hmmm Chorus 2: Eb Ebmaj7 So I think I better go, I never really know Ab Bb How to please you, you're lookin' at me like I'm see-through Eb Ebmaj7 I guess I'm gonna go, I just never know Ab Bb [nc] How you feel, do you even feel anything?

4 ukulele chords used in "8 / eight" by Billie Eilish: Bb, Eb, Ebmaj7 and Ab
I used Beat-d-u-beat-d
I think it sounds gr-8.
Get it? The song’s called 8?
No okay…. 🙁
The original chords are transposed on -3. C Cmaj7 F G. The strumming pattern that Billie used is DDU UDU UUD UUD and not the island strum (DDU UDU). Also don’t put a capo on the third fret, just strum the ukulele as it is. 🙂 You can check her carpool karaoke video with James Corden for reference.
Capo on 3
C Cmaj7 F G
best chords to use ( also the original )
*tip* transpose down 3 to get original chords
Every word of this song I relate to. I just broke up with my ex a few weeks ago because he made me feel like I was worthless and he never put effort into our relationship and yet he still managed to make me fall in love with him. The line “Who am I to fall in love when your love never is for me” really really hit me hard. Billie is a true genius with her lyrics.
The Strumming pattern is DDU UDU DDU UDU but only using your index finger. Just a tip. 🙂
hiiii i think this version is too complicated and i play it with C Cmaj7 F and G in this order as I saw Billie play it like this in a video and the strumming is DDUUDU
-3 with capo on 3rd fret is how it is in the original 🙂
this doesn’t sound much like the original, plus its not good for beginners! if you want something easier to play that sounds more like the original, do c, c major 7, f, and g with the strum pattern being dd u udu twice for each chord! and remember a capo on the 3rd fret for concert ukes, or the 6th fret for soprano ukes (im not sure about tenor ukes im sorryyyy). hopefully this helps someone out 🙂
I combined this song with adore you and called it 8dore you
use groovy guitar dude’s tutorial on youtube, much more beginner friendly! he also provides free capos on his website thegroovyguitardude . com 😀
For those wanting the most accurate chords without the use of a capo, I suggest using the chords 3336 (I don’t know what that’s called 🔥🔥), Ebmaj7, Ab, and X565 (x = mute/don’t strum string G) in that order. Also the strumming pattern is just the Island strum (DDU UDU) twice per chord. This is how I play the song and it sounds good enough for me! Hope it helps. 😀
in -3 it should be a d minor instead of an f
I use chords C, Cmaj, F and G7 – they’re just a bit easier 🙂
I just luv how pretty much everyone has TØP name references
for the strumming pattern i use DU DDU DDU DDU
I use Gm as a replacement for Ebmaj7 it sounds more sad and depressing 🙂
i just fricken cried is soooooo
prIDDIE
OK bruh I got so confused abt the Bb being there because it kinda sounded like the right note but a bit too low for my taste so what I did was I just changed the whole chord progression to a much easier one and (to me) a more pleasing to the ear tune. (to mE)
It was ligit just
C, Cmaj7, Am, G
And science I’m too lazy to make my own ST I just did the GoOd Ol’ D D u u D u ???
Some easier chords are c, c7, f, g and the strumming pattern is ddu udu×2
Try it with Capo on third fret with chords C, Cmaj7, Dm, G it sounds exactly like the original 😉
