Rip Yondu.. “He may be your father, but he ain’t your daddy.”
I’m Mary Poppins y’all
The lyrics in the second re-versal of verse one is ” it’s not time to make a change just sit down, take it slowly. You’re still young, that’s your fault, there’s so much you have to go through”
I like to play in the into a G with the strumming D DUDU but on the last up I play a C and then pluck the open C string open G string and then open C open A (I hope it makes sense)
I love it not just because of marvel. it is a great song, very sad and sounds great on ukulele
I’m glad that Guardians of the Galaxy turned so many people on to such an excellent tune. Check out the Johnny Cash / Fiona Apple Duet Version if you want to have your heart ripped from your chest and presented to you.
This was literally my childhood

he could fit into tight places, good for smuggeling
agreed, +2 is fairly easy and is way easier for my soprano voice to reach
What a beautiful song, reading this just now was truly wonderful.
Strumming for the song is D DDU
I use strumming patter D DDU
Love this song, sounds even better on baritone uke
some of the Am can be changed to Am7 and it sounds much more dynamic
+2
Too soon man 🙁
