5 ukulele chords used in "Fireflies (Fire Flies)" by Owl City: Am, C, Em, F and G
I think this song just deserves a kermit the frog singing voice
Keep the same chord but put a capo on the 3rd fret it sounds more like the song.
Hey, memes aside, this song is very well put together, and the nostalgia is STRONG!
DDUDUDUDU
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.
This sounds so good on ukulele
I keep thinking of TommyInnit singing this (terribly) live on stream
This is one of the first songs I learned. Still like to play it. ヾ(•ω•`)o
