Okay this is definately the best version of this song out there.
If you want easier to play/ sing with, go to -3
If you want to play along/ sound like the original, leave it. It’s perfect!!!
oh hi burned out gifted kid, cool gay people with good music taste, readers who like making coffee and apreciate art more than anything, hidden depressed poet. how r u?
Honestly this song is like an acting experience for me, along with the music. I change my voice in Verse 3 to sound more mean and sharp, and then like go back all the way and try to sound tired and desperate in Verse 4. Otherwise it gets too long and monotonous (P.S. It took me ten minutes to find out how to spell that word)
+2 works well for me, but that’s a soprano speaking…
How is this not flooded it sounds so nice -3
I really started crying during this-
The best struming that i’ve found is to do:
D-UDU
or
D-UDUD (this one is really quick and hard to stay on beat for compared to the first, so it is a ton harder but sound way better)
-3 works for me really well
These comments are way to accurate. Lmao
D-DUD for the 1st chord of every line
U-DUD for the rest of the line
works for meeeeeee
Day 88 of playing ukulele and I cannot play this song 😂 This is my current challenge piece 💪💪
In the chorus, I think Ab should be Cm
ok it took me a minute to figure out, but to play the intro like in the original song, play strings CEAEAE x2 while holding the chords Cm, Csus2, Cm, Csus2, and then G (i also recommend using 3 fingers for Cm and G to make switching easier)
for this version, i think it sounds better to replace Csus2 with Eb like it says at the top even though it’s technically wrong, but that’s personal preference so see which one u like 🙂
So, basically,
A ———3——3—————3——3—— ———3——3—————3——3—— ———2———2——————2———2—
E ——3——3——3——3——3——3– ——3——3——3——3——3——3– (x2) —3———3———3———3——3——-3
C -3————————3——————— 2————————2——————— 2——————————2———————-
G ————————————————— ————————————————– ————————————————–—
Cm Csus2 G
OR
A ———3——3—————3——3—— ———–1——1————–1——–1—— ———2———2——————2———2—
E ——3——3——3——3——3——3– ——3——3——3——3——3——3– (x2) —3———3———3———3——3——-3
C -3————————3——————— 3————————3——————— 2——————————2———————-
G ————————————————— ————————————————– ————————————————–—
Cm Eb G
