Guys, do you know what else is burning? ……………………………………. my fingers when I play uke
poor eliza she didnt deserve what happened to her 🙁
for the intro before the words this sounds so much better
A |–2—5–9–10—9—5 | —1—4—9—10—9—4– | —2—5—9—10—9—5—10—9—5—10—9—5– |
Strumming pattern?
-2 is pretty easy for beginners ?
em works better than em7! <3
“I’m burning the memories” D = Gbm
-2 is quite easy, but with my tiny(ish) hands, I prefer to do Em7 instead of E 🙂
It was fairly easy, and for a strumming pattern I just use down for every single chord, and that’s it.
-7 is super easy to play, but sounds quite different from the original (which i suppose is to be expected)
I’m burning the letters
D= Gbm
