Intro:
   Em D -x3-
   Gbm Bm

Verse 1:
Em                    D
  I think it's strange  when people say
Em                          D
  You're the next big thing,  you'll never fade
Em                    D
  The slightest touch,  forced to fold
Gbm                   Bm
  Sleight of the hand,  modern gold

Pre-Chorus:
Em             D         Em
  Starry-eyed child left behind
D            A        Em
Choose your favorite vice
D                                  Gbm    Bm
I don't have the strength to play nice

Chorus:
Em                        Gbm
Hide me in the back room, tell me when it's over
       Bm                      A
Don't know if I can play this part much longer
Em                        Gbm
I'll be in the back room, tell me when it's over
      Bm                 A
Don't know if I can play this part much longer
Em        Gbm            Bm       A
I don't know if it is right to live this way, yeah
Em                        Gbm
I'll be in the back room, tell me when it's over
Bm                        Bm
People always say, "Man, at least you're on the radio”

Interlude:
Em       D
     At least you're on the radio x3 -Including the Em chord-
Gbm   Bm

Verse 2:
Em                D
  Close your eyes,  don't be afraid
Em                   D
  Take some of these,  they'll ease the pain
Em                     D
  Live fast, die young,  pay the price
Gbm                 Bm
The best die young,  immortalized

Pre-Chorus:
Em             D              Em
   Starry-eyed children left behind
    D            A       Em
To choose their favorite vice
D                                 Gb      Bm
I don't have the strength to think twice

Chorus:
Em                        A
Hide me in the back room, tell me when it's over
       Bm                      A
Don't know if I can play this part much longer
Em                        A
I'll be in the back room, tell me when it's over
      Bm                 A
Don't know if I can play this part much longer
Em        A            Bm       A

I'll be in the back room, tell me when it's over
Bm                        Bm

-2 is pretty easy and has a good pitch if you have more of a middle voice range like me. Also don’t be intimidated by the Bm, it’s really easy once you get your fingers used to it, and on the D, dont put your fingers all in a straight line whenmake them diagonal but keep them in the same fret if that makes sense, which it probably doesn’t lol

If you drop it 4 steps, it becomes a very simple F-C-G-Am song.

musicrox

Emmietem

If I die young bury me in satin lay me down on a bed of roses sink me in the river at dawn

I had to go on google to find this song then I searched it here! It’s weird. first I checked lady antebellum but then i’m like this can’t be right so I searched the lyrics and ended up here.I guess it’s weird that I remember this song from many years ago.

I can’t believe this actually sounds good on the ukulele because this song seems like (to me) its more for a guitar or like a mandolin. But at least it sounds good:)!

Abbydabbydoo2903

I don’t like country but this is a really good song

vrk

-4 and capo on the second fret with suprano ukulele sounds so good for me…?

Gleelover

-2 sounds best to sing with it is fairly easy so good for beginners but if just starting out use -4

Morcalla

Ayayayaya -4
