Intro: Bb F Gm Eb Verse: Bb I met you in the dark F You lit me up Gm You made me feel as though Eb I was enough Bb We danced the night away F We drank too much Gm I held your hair back when Eb You were throwing up Pre-chorus: Bb Then you smiled over your shoulder F For a minute, I was stone cold sober Gm Eb I pulled you closer to my chest Bb And you asked me to stay over F I said, I already told ya Gm Eb I think that you should get some rest Chorus: Bb I knew I loved you then F But you'd never know Gm Cause I played it cool when I was Eb Scared of letting go Bb I know I needed you F But I never showed Gm But I wanna stay with you Eb Until we're grey and old Bb F Just say you won't let go Gm Eb Just say you won't let go Verse: Bb I wake you up with some F Breakfast in bed Gm I'll bring you coffee Eb With a kiss on your head Bb And I'll take the kids to school F Wave them goodbye Gm And I'll thank my lucky stars for Eb That night Pre-chorus: Bb When you looked over your shoulder F For a minute, I forget that I'm older Gm Eb I wanna dance with you right now, oh Bb And you look as beautiful as ever F And I swear that everyday you'll get better Gm Eb You make me feel this way somehow Chorus: Bb I'm so in love with you F And I hope you know Gm Darling your love is more than worth its Eb Weight in gold Bb We've come so far my dear F Look how we've grown Gm And I wanna stay with you Eb Until we're grey and old Bb F Just say you won't let go Gm Eb Just say you won't let go Verse: Bb I wanna live with you F Even when we're ghosts Gm Cause you were always there for me Eb When I needed you most Chorus: Bb I'm gonna love you till F My lungs give out Gm I promise till death we part Eb Like in our vows Bb So I wrote this song for you F Now everybody knows Gm Cause it's just you and me Eb Until we're grey and old Outro: Bb F Just say you won't let go Gm Eb Just say you won't let go Bb F Just say you won't let go Gm Eb Oh, just say you won't let go This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

How to play Say You Won’t Let Go on ukulele
It runs d – d u – u d u. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 85 bpm. On this page the song is in Bb major. Nothing scary in the shapes, it sits on the easy ukulele songs list at the rookie level. Pick the intro then settle into a gentle island strum for the verses

I love playing this even though my dad started hyperventilating on his harmonica
+2 sounds really good if you tune the ukulele a whole step down (F A# D G)
What’s the best strumming pattern for this song?
I play it in +2 so for the intro it’s
__________________________________
_________0___________0___________
___0________0_0__________0______
______0__________0_______________
for the intro and then straight into the C chord.
And I use D D D DU for each chord throughout the whole song.
I also like (idk the correct term) sliding my finger after the Eb to Gm (in one strum)
Like:
Gm Eb-Gm
A——1———1————
E——3———3————
C——2———3/2———
G——————————
There’s a plucking pattern (that’s all on the A string) that’s one octave higher than it is in the song, but here it is (your fingers need to be able to reach far)
A – 1 8 5 – 1 1 8 5 – 1 1 8 5 – 6 6 3 – 53
