Intro: Bb Am Verse 1: Bb Ultimately I don't understand a thing Am I try to do the best I can I know you try to do the same Bb We're just so bound to make mistakes You could call it a disposition Am I apologize for all your tears I wish I could be different Bb But I'm still growing up Am Into the one you can call your love Bb I don't know if I'll ever be enough Am I'm throwing in my chips I guess I tend to push my luck Verse 2: Bb And ultimately I believe we'll be okay Am It's so cliche to say these things, but repetition is a key Bb I think I'm better when I'm with you But I worry when you're gone Am I think I need to learn to love myself I must learn to be strong Bb So for now we'll say goodbye Although it pains me in my heart Am Your words they come to me in memories They sing to me like songs Bb It won't be long until I'm here Soon I'll make my arrival Am Under shady trees A quiet street The roads that I have traveled Verse 3: Bb Ultimately it's a beautiful thing Am Like flowers blooming in a lonely field The petals drift through crossing winds Bb They find their way to river streams Am That scent the water beautifully, it takes me back to you It takes me back to you Outro: Bb Am Bb This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

3 ukulele chords used in "Ultimately" by khai dreams: A, Am and Bb
If you play Bb, 8-5-3 on the A string, Am with island pattern (DD-UU-DU) two times, and every other progression after the first Am DD-UU-DU play 5-6-5-3-5 on the E string, you have the entire song. That’s what’s played throughout the song over and over.
my sister is gonna freak out when i sing her this
I’ve found that plucking the G string 2-3-0-2 works nicely, and sounds better than the 5-6-5-3-5 option.
This is a bit higher than the actual song but here’s what I like to do:
1. Strum Cm once
2. On the A string: 10–7-5
3. Strum G with the pattern D-D-U-U-DU x2
4. then repeat the first two steps only this time you pluck on the A string: 2-3-0-2
AFTER strumming the G pattern ONCE!
-BUT if you want to stay close to the song as possible I would do:
1. Strum Am once
2. On the G string: 10–7-5
3. Stum F with the pattern D-D-U-U-DU x2
4. then repeat the first two steps only this time you pluck on the G string: 2-3-0-2
AFTER strumming the F pattern ONCE!
I hoped this pile of word vomit made sense:,)
Does anybody have the strumming pattern?
After each Bb chord, I usually pluck a short little piece that’s goes along with the song, and I think it sounds really nice 🙂 I’ll leave the notes below:
A————
E————
C————
G-10-7-5–2
After this, just play a soft Am and it sounds really peaceful and beautiful!
-5 easiest
there’s another way to do the second riff, it sounds more official.
you start on the A string and go 1-0-1
you move to the E string and go 3
you move to the G string and go 2
you finish by plucking the A string
tadaaaa
***riff not ride
If you wanna know the riff after the Bb in the song is all on the A chord at the 8th fret,5th,3rd. The next riff is after you strum on the Am and you pluck on the E chord at the 5th fret,6th,5th,3rd,5th (relatively fast).
So for the little riff after every bm, on A string play
A|-8-5-3-|
E|———-|
C|———-|
G|———-|
Strumming pattern I use is DD-UU-DU.
But if you’d like to get specific, there is actually a second riff in the song when he says “i know you try to do the same”. how to play it is this
A|-0-1-0-0-|
E|———3–|
C|————-|
G|————-|
Have fun!
wheres the B ?Theres a bee ??
So, personally, I’m a little bit of a beginner. And the Bb chord is pretty hard for me. So instead of doing Bb I switched it to A7 which is just a little bit easier for me. So uh yeah.
Personally for the ride I like to do 2-3-0-2 On A string, but I have metal cords so it might just be me
I’m very new to uke, and what I like to do for plucking is start at A with 8-5-3 than move to E with 5-3 I still need to find a pattern for after that though.
for the plucking part, after the Bb chord, i did (on the forth string) 8th fret, 5th fret then 3rd.
after the Am chord, i did (on the first string) 2nd fret, 3rd fret, no fret (just the reg g chord)
Does anyone have the finger picking figured out?
I love how it counted the A in “A quiet street” as a chord.
hope this helps
Right after the Bb After Am
G——– G————
C——– C————
E——– E-5-6-5-3-5
A-8-5-3- A————
ahh this is also how i figured out to play the song by ear from a friend who is very talented in this area
