Verse: D A G Bm A G Lying beside you here in the dark, feeling your heartbeat with mine D A G Bm A G Softly you whisper You're so sincere How could our love be so blind Em Bm D A G We sailed on together we drifted apart and here you are by my side Chorus: D A G Cadd9 So now I come to you with open arms nothing to hide believe what I say D A G Cadd9 So here I am with open arms Hoping you'll see what your love means to me D Open arms Verse: D A Bm A G Living without you, Living alone, This empty house seems so cold D A G Bm A G Wanting to Hold You, Wanting you near, How much I wanted you home Em Bm A D A G But now that you've come back, turned night into day I need you to stay Chorus: D A G Cadd9 So now I come to you with open arms Nothing to hide believe what I say D A G Cadd9 So here I am with open arms Hoping you'll see what your love means to me D Open arms This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

6 ukulele chords used in "Open Arms" by Journey: A, Bm, Cadd9, D, Em and G

















Absolute beginner. +5 is working well for me!
Tip~
Instead of Dadd9 (which is, btw, really hard to play), you can play Am. Sounds better, too! ^-^
what strumming pattern should i use tho’?
leave a strumming pattern and plucking at the least for self thought players such as myself.
Sounds better with a G chord on the word ‘Alone’ in the chorus. I would also stay on the Bm at ‘Turned night into day’ in the verse instead of changing to A chord on the word day, then onto D as you have shown. Great chord chart though. Thank you! Appreciate it.
This song is absolutely gorgeous and simple for beginners like myself. Thank you so much!
Cadd9 is not hard to play!!!!! Blasphemy!!!
I like a simple pluck strum strum in this personally. Love the simple arrangement. ❤️
That’s for the +2 transposition, my b.
