Intro (x2): E A B

Verse:
            E     A
You're insecure
                 B
Don't know what for
                E              A                 B
You're turning heads when you walk through the door


B                E  A
 Don't need make up
A         B
 To cover up
B           E            A       B
 Being the way that you are is enough

Pre-chorus:
E        A            Dbm       B
Everyone else in the room can see it
E        A         B
Everyone else but you

Chorus:
          E           A            B
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
              E             A            B
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
               E             A             Dbm      B
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
            E   (nc)
You don't know (oh oh)
Dbm                      B
You don't know you're beautiful
E        A        B
If only you saw what I can see
              E          A           B
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
               E          A         Dbm      B
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
           E     A
You don't know (oh oh)
Dbm                      B
You don't know you're beautiful
E    A
Oh oh oh
(nc)                    B    E
That's what makes you beautiful

Interlude: E  A  B

Verse:
           E  A
So c-come on
             B
You got it wrong
              E          A        B
To prove I'm right I put it in a song
              E     A
I don't know why
              B
You're being shy
            E         A             B
And turn away when I look into your ah-ah-eyes

Pre-chorus:
E        A            Dbm       B
Everyone else in the room can see it
E        A         B
Everyone else but you

How to play What Makes You Beautiful on ukulele

To play What Makes You Beautiful on ukulele, strum the driving 4/4: d – d – d u d u. The groove sits around 125 bpm, a medium pace. As posted it stays in its original key of E major. I rate the chords skilled, a fair middle ground. Palm-mute the verse strums then open up big for the chorus.
