Intro: Bm7 Em7 Em Em6 Gb7

Verse 1:
Bm7            Em7            Em                Em6              Gb7
Wake up, say a little prayer, out of bed to the bathroom where I take a look at myself
      Bm7                   Em7                Gb7
And I stop and stare, and I wonder who is this standing here

Pre-Chorus 1:
      Bm              G             Em
And I try to find the will to carry on
       Bm                G         Em
Wonder how much longer I can carry on
            A         Gb7     Bm             A       A7
Cause these days they take so long, yes they do

Chorus 1:
D   D7       G                 Gb                   Bm           A       A7
Hey,     how are you true? The light will guide you home, yes it will
D   D7       G                  Gb                                Bm            A       A7
Hey,     how are you true? Well there's one thing that you should know, yes you should
         Bm7            Em6            Em       Em6
You need love, you need love, you need love
         Bm7         Em6         Em       Em6
You need lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love

Verse 2:
Bm                                            Em
All your days spend countin' numbers 'til one day you'll find,
     Gb7                 Bm
That life has passed you by
Bm                                       Em
And in the quiet still of silence try to hide your eyes
Gb7              Bm      A       A7
Oh no, no, don't cry, oh no

Chorus 2:
D   D7       G                 Gb                   Bm           A       A7
Hey,     how are you true? The light will guide you home, yes it will
D   D7                           G                              Gb                            Bm
      Oh the years, they turn so fast, soon the present will be past and you'll look back and laugh
        A
Yes you will

Verse 3:
Bm               G               Em              Gb7
Well I can still remember, yes I was a young man too
Bm             G                 Em             Gb7
Alone, but not forgotten and the candle shining through
Bm                         G                 Em          Gb7
Still all these words I've spoken don't mean anything at all
        Bm7           Em6            Em       Em6
Without love, without love, without love
        Bm7         Em6         Em       Em6
Without lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love

Chorus 3:
D7          G               Gb7             Bm     A       A7
Do do do do do, do do do do do, do do do do do, oh yeah
D7          G               Gb7             Bm     A       A7
Do do do do do, do do do do do, do do do do do, oh yeah

Outro:
Bm7       Em6                 G                 Gb
I remember clearly we were both there on the airplane
Bm7             Em6              G            Gb
Told me all your secrets, oh I never saw it coming
Bm7                    Em6                  G              Gb
I thought that you were joking, you were actually quite serious

+3 sounds like the original to me. It would be nice if the song was complete.

maukulele815

I think that -7 works really great! It sounds most original to me!

Ali

Some people are more beginner and also learn slower so if in your opinion it’s easy thengreat but for others it isn’t

Bobby Benito

E7 is better than Bm

AUB ( Annoying Ukulele Boy)

I don’t know about you guys and gals but these chords are quite easy.

Slacker

I’m surprised this has a difficulty level of 1 – I don’t know about anyone else, but – as a beginner of playing the ukulele – I found this rather hard.

In certain parts of the song, you have to switch chords incredibly fast and some of the chords used are too complicated for those who have just started playing.

I would very much appreciate it if you could reconsider this song’s difficulty, hopefully in time for this year’s festive season. Thank you very much!

I enjoy +3

tatonkacraft

Hey Jonas and slacker, don’t worry guys, after a while it becomes really easy, too easy haha, good luck with your ukulele journeys!!!!
Very nice song as well, well done!

Jamie Lynn

Bar the Bb and B and it will get easier Slacker

Elsa of the sky

It’s a bit easier if you play it +3. No e chord or anything terribly crazy.
