Intro: Ebm B Gb Db Verse: Ebm B Looked down from a broken sky, B traced out by the city lights Gb Db My world from a mile high, Db best seat in the house tonight Ebm B Touched down on the cold black top, B hold on for the sudden stop Gb Db Breathe in the familiar shock of confusion and chaos Pre-Chorus: Ebm B Abm All those people going somewhere, why have I never cared? Chorus: Ebm B Give me your eyes for just one second, give me your eyes so I can see Gb Db Everything that I keep missing, give me your love for humanity Ebm Give me your arms for the broken-hearted B The ones that are far beyond my reach Gb Db Give me your heart for the ones forgotten, give me your eyes so I can see Ebm B Gb Db Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Verse: Ebm Dm# Step out on a busy street, Dm# see a girl and our eyes meet Gb Db Does her best to smile at me to hide what's underneath Ebm There's a man just to her right, B black suit and a bright red tie Gb Db Too ashamed to tell his wife he's out of work, he's buying time Pre-Chorus: Ebm B Abm All those people going somewhere, why have I never cared? Chorus: Ebm B Give me your eyes for just one second, give me your eyes so I can see Gb Db Everything that I keep missing, give me your love for humanity Ebm Give me your arms for the broken-hearted B The ones that are far beyond my reach Gb Db Give me your heart for the ones forgotten, give me your eyes so I can see Ebm B Gb Db Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Bridge: B Gb I've been here a million times, a couple of million eyes B Gb Db Just move and pass me by, I swear I never thought that I was wrong B Gb Well I want a second glance, so give me a second chance B Gb Db To see the way you see the people all along Chorus: Ebm B Give me your eyes for just one second, give me your eyes so I can see Gb Db Everything that I keep missing, give me your love for humanity Ebm Give me your arms for the broken-hearted B The ones that are far beyond my reach Gb -xDb-x Give me your heart for the ones forgotten, give me your eyes so I can see Ebm B Give me your eyes for just one second, give me your eyes so I can see Gb Db Everything that I keep missing, give me your love for humanity Ebm Give me your arms for the broken-hearted B The ones that are far beyond my reach Gb Db Give me your heart for the ones forgotten, give me your eyes so I can see Ebm B Gb Db Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Ebm B Gb Db Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Much easier and sounds just as well at -3.
This is great! Really accurate.
Has anyone got any tips on how to do the quick G-Eb-G-Eb transition at the end of the first bridge?
this is the ending tab, play it and then end with a down strum on c
A ———0——
E —0——3—
C 0————0
G ——5———
Ok this is going to sound weird but, if you tune the strings to F – A# -D -G (+2 of what is tuned) and you use +2 to play it is much easier and it sounds better for thick voices, it resonates much more and I like it a lot.
is there any specific strum pattern?
when i first got my ukulele, some of the first songs i looked at were queen songs. i was intimidated for the large amounts of different chords and quick changes so i thankfully saved myself the pain and stayed clear lol. almost a year later of consistent practice, this song is a breeze first try! not perfect, but pretty easy 👍 thats on frequent and consistent practice
It’s imraietpve that more people make this exact point.
