UKULELE CHORDS

G               C
You would not believe your eyes
F              F
If ten million fireflies
G          C               F
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
G                 C
'Cause they'd fill the open air
F                   F
And leave teardrops everywhere
G                      C                      F
You'd think me rude But I would just stand and stare

F           C             G
I'd like to make myself believe
            F     C     Em  F
That planet Earth turns slowly
     F                    C           F          G    Am
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep
    F             C           G
'Cause everything is never as it seems


G           C
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
F
From ten thousand lightning bugs
G              C               F
As they tried to teach me how to dance
G          C
a foxtrot above my head
F
a sock hop beneath my bed
  G             C                 F
a disco ball is just hanging by a thread


F           C             G
I'd like to make myself believe
            F     C     Em  F
That planet Earth turns slowly
     F                    C           F          G    Am
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep
    F             C           G
'Cause everything is never as it seems When I fall asleep

G             C           F
Leave my door open just a crack - Please take me away from here -
G               C              F
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac - Please take me away from here -
G        C                F
Why do I tire of counting sheep - Please take me away from here -
G               C               F
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

G              C
To ten million fireflies
F
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
G           C                     F
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
G                C
But I'll know where several are
F
If my dreams get real bizarre
G                     C               F
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar


F           C             G
I'd like to make myself believe
            F     C     Em  F
That planet Earth turns slowly
     F                    C           F          G    Am
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep
    F             C           G
'Cause everything is never as it seems When I fall asleep


F           C             G
I'd like to make myself believe
            F     C     Em  F
That planet Earth turns slowly
     F                    C           F          G    Am
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep
    F             C           G
'Cause everything is never as it seems When I fall asleep


F           C             G
I'd like to make myself believe
            F     C     Em  F
That planet earth turns slowly
     F                    C           F          G    Am
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep
  F                   C               G      G  C
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

I think this song just deserves a kermit the frog singing voice

Sarah

Keep the same chord but put a capo on the 3rd fret it sounds more like the song.

Ashleigh The Uke Player

Hey, memes aside, this song is very well put together, and the nostalgia is STRONG!

Yolo Frodo

This sounds so good on ukulele

Aaron Münch

I think the first time you sing “When I fall asleep” souds weird with just staying on G. So I added in my version an F on asleep and after that C Em Am F C G. I think it sounds pretty good you should try it.
