Intro: Bb

Verse 1:
                    Bb
I’ve been down this road before
                 Cm
I remember every tree
             F
Every single blade of grass
                          Bb
Holds a special place for me
               Bb
And I remember every town
                Cm
And every hotel room
                 F
And every song I ever sang
                  Bb
On a guitar out of tune

Chorus 1:
           Eb
I remember everything
                  Bb
Things I can’t forget
                       C7
The way you turned and smiled on me
                           F
On the night that we first met
               Eb
And I remember every night
                   Bb
Your ocean eyes of blue
                      F 
How I miss you in the morning light
                  Bb
Like roses miss the dew

Instrumental: Eb   Bb   F   F7   Bb

Verse 2:
                    Bb
I’ve been down this road before
               Cm
Alone as I can be
               F
Careful not to let my past
                  Bb
Go sneaking up on me
                    Bb
Got no future in my happiness
                        Cm
Though regrets are very few
                   F
Sometimes a little tenderness
                          Bb
Was the best that I could do

Chorus 2:
           Eb
I remember everything
                  Bb
Things I can’t forget
                C7
Swimming pools of butterflies
                             F
That slipped right through the net
               Eb
And I remember every night
                   Bb
Your ocean eyes of blue
                      F 
How I miss you in the morning light
                  Bb
Like roses miss the dew


                      F 
How I miss you in the morning light
                  Bb    Eb  Bb
Like roses miss the dew

How to play I Remember Everything on ukulele

The strumming pattern that fits is the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. It rolls along at a relaxed pace of around 76 bpm. This arrangement is in Bb major. I rate the chords skilled, a fair middle ground. Prefer easier shapes? Transpose the song down 3 half-steps, then a capo on fret 3 brings you back to the key on this page. Strum softly and leave space between the chords to fit the mood.
