4 ukulele chords used in "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana: A, C, D and F


















this isnt right its too major
Should be A C G D
Strum patern is
A:D D UDUDU
C:D
G:D UD
D:UDUDU
This doesn’t sound like the song. The D and A sound completely off.

Hello ?♂️
When it’s transposed to F (the original key), the suggested chord shapes are hard.
I think ? would be easier –
F Bb F# C#
A |—0——1——3——4—|
E |—1——1——4——4—|
C |—0——2——3——5—|
G |—2——3——5——6—|
Aloha ??
I love how all the nirvana fans (including me) are geeking out on the comment section??❤️❤️
UNACCEPTABLE
The D and A are completely off
Oooooooooo I like Nirvana
What’s le strumming pattern smh
Yee uh this sounds way to happy
Chords should be E A G C
Simplified Strum Pattern (Still pretty tough at first):
1 2 3+ 4+
1 (D) 2 (D), Mute 3+(DU), open 4+(DU) as you switch to next chord so it’ll be:
DD(mDU)DU
There’s way more strums that can be placed in this like how the original song has but I’ve found this to be the simplest form that still gives off the same feel.
-Cheers
Now I may be new to ukulele and have just played around with chords but D G F C sounds good to me apart from the C sounding slightly too high… I play:
D: D UD
G: UDD
F: D UD
C: UDD
I found that E,G,A,C sounds better personally
Hello , what does x mean in tabs version ?
The power chords for this song are actually F5, B♭5, A♭5 and D♭5. These chords are tougher to do on the ukulele though, especially for beginners who like rock.
-4 has the right chords
The chords are actually:
Fm, Bb, Ab then Db (pattern)
For Ukulele: 0
For Guitar: -5
