6 ukulele chords used in "Hollywood" by Marina and the Diamonds: Am, C, Dm, E, F and G
It would be really nice if the rest of it had chords.
Really good song to play, one verse is missing at the start between ‘in a dive on viiine’ and ‘ill do anything for a dime’ it goes like this:
Air hostess whose doing gossip magazine crosswords in a flight to JFK
39 years old with a mile high __
Trying to stimulate a mind that is slowly starting to decay
I itch my skin and jump up and say
Lady I know why your thoughts turn gray
And it doesn’t ever say ‘ill do anything g for I dime’ in that verse
I was singing this on a bench with my ukulele, in my front yard and then, some kids on their bikes came along and stopped and then shouted out to their dad “Look, that lady’s singing.”
My thoughts: What’s wrong with that, I don’t find that bizarre. And wait a second… Aren’t backyards meant to be private? Lol!
i’ve had a play around and +5 seems to have the easiest chords if you’re struggling with the dreaded E 🙂
@reina you said you were in your front yard where’d the backyard part come from
how hard is it to put the chords for the whole song ffs
