Intro: E Gb G Verse 1: E C So this ain't the end - I saw you again today E I had to turn my heart away C Smile like the Sun - kisses for ev'ry one E and tales - it never fails! Chorus: C E You lying so low in the weeds C E I bet you gonna ambush me D A You'd have me down, down, down, down on my knees (nc) E Gb G Now wouldn't you, Barracuda? Verse 2: E C Back over time when we were all trying for free E you met up with porpoise and me C No right, no wrong; selling a song - a name E Whisper game Chorus: C E And if the real thing don't do the trick C E You better make up something quick D A You gonna burn, burn, burn, burn it to the wick E Oooh, Barracuda? Bridge: C "Sell me sell you" the porpoise said A E Dive down deep, now. Save my head. You ... I think that you got the blues too C All that night and all the next A Swam without looking back E Made for the western pools - silly, silly fools Chorus: C E And if the real thing don't do the trick C E You better make up something quick D A You gonna burn, burn, burn, burn it to the wick E Oooh, Barracuda?

How to play Barracuda on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the down-up eighths: d u d u. It rolls along at a brisk pace of around 150 bpm. You are playing it in G major; the original is in E minor. I rate the chords skilled, a fair middle ground. Play fast down-up strums to copy the driving guitar riff.
