C F C Em It's about all the sad stuff. C F C Em Just picture a depressed onion cutting itself. Interlude: C F C Em C F C Em C F I met a homeless man named Rich C G Isn't that terrible? C F I saw a flyer for a lost dog Am Em And the dog didn't have any legs C F Am G I saw a diabetic kid trick-or-treating C F I saw a giraffe who had a short neck Am G That was sad, or a deer E F C G I saw an old man get hit by a train E F He didn't see it in the pouring rain C G E He didn't hear me shout, "Look out for the train!" Because I didn't say anything. Interlude: C F C Em C F C Em I just thought to myself, "Ooh, this is gonna be sad." C F C Em And it was. C F C Em I'm a genius. C F I saw a man with only one eye C G In a 3D movie C F I saw a little boy drop his ice cream cone Am Em Directly on his mother's corpse C F I saw a kitten stuck in a tree Am G Then the kitten jumped off and he hung himself C F Am G I saw a boy who had red hair. E F C G I went to a store looking for something to buy E F But they only sold paintings of the same sad guy C G No, wait--this store sells mirrors! E See what I did there? C Em F Fm Let's rock! No. C Em F Fm C Em F Fm C Em F G [spoken] The world's so sad, bros. Pain, genocide, war, sexism, racism. But I've gotta remember there's good things about it too. Like the fact that none of that's happening to me! Score! Still, though, it's hard not to be sad about it. How do y'all do it? I've been telling you guys terribly sad things this whole song; you haven't been sad at all. You've been--you've been happy--no, you've been laughing. That's it, laughter, it's the key to everything. It's the way to solve all the sadness in the world! I mean not for the people that are actually sad, but the people like us that've gotta xxxxxxx deal with them all the time. Being a comedian isn't being an insensitive xxxxx capitalizing on the most animalistic impulses of the public; it's being a hero. The world isn't sad. The world's funny! I'm a sociopath! C F I saw an old man slip and fall Am G Hey, what a xxxxxxx idiot C F I saw a woman at her daughter's funeral Am G Ha ha ha. Classic comedy. C F Everything that once was sad Am G Is somehow funny now C F The Holocaust and 9/11 Am G That xxxx's funny 24/7, cuz E F C G Tragedy will be exclusively joked about E F C Because my empathy is bumming me out G E Goodbye, sadness C F C Em C Hello jokes.

7 ukulele chords used in "Sad" by Bo Burnham: Am, C, E, Em, F, Fm and G
is no one else hear bc of that one time that wilbur soot sang this on stream? just me?
penis
XD i preformed this for my mum and she cried lshidmsab (you’ll have to guess what that means btw)
i had to stop myself a lil at the end i cant bring myself to joke about holocaust and 9/11 idk why
Directly on his mother’s corpse this line that ends with Em should end with G its much easier to transition into G and it sounds better
Any wil fans in the chat
i just played this and i didnt think anyone was around but my mom just came from around the corner and said wow that was… good… AND IM DYING RN I DID NOT THINK SHE WAS THERE.
Instead of using E, since its hard to transition, I just use Em. Its alot better in my opinion.
Strumming pattern??
I loved it! I even put my own twist on it!
This is the best thing.
Thank you soooo much!
guys dont panic, the strumming patern is abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
it might be the pitch of your voice. sometimes it sounds wrong when the chords don’t match. you can try using the numbers at the top to transpose it to your voice, but it might be more difficult to play. you can also try to use a capo.
Here bc of wilbur 🙂
This is very helpful!
This sounds right just a little weird on a ukulele, but who cares!
what does X have to do with this ?? wtaf
I love bo burnham and this song is brilliant <3
Very useful! Thank you!
If you don’t like playing the E chord (like myself) you can just swap it for Em, it sounds the same, if not better.
