6 ukulele chords used in "Talking Bird" by Death Cab for Cutie: Am, C, Dm, Em, F and G
+5 is simple and it’s a beautiful rendition of the original song. Also, it works really well with people who have higher voices. This is one of my favorite songs and it’s just gorgeous on the ukelele.
*sniffle* why am I crying? It’s not as bad as playing nocturne in Bb minor perfectly then realizing my phone didn’t record it….
Actually there are two versions of this song – This is the acoustic demo version, and the lyrics posted are correct 🙂
Oh my god random pianist that just made me laugh so hard
It is the first song I’ve learned to play on the ukulele and I still have to cry during playing it.
I love it.
Sorry to burst everyone’s bubble but these lyrics are wrong in the last verse… you weren’t even crying to the real song. It’s “And I’ll love you all your days~~ ’till the breath leaves your fragile frame” not delicate frame.
