Verse: A Asus2 A Asus2 Our daydream spills from my gold head Gbm Breaks free of my wooden neck D Dm Left a nod over sleeping waves A Asus2 A Asus2 Like bobbing bait for bathing cod Gbm Floating flocks of candle swans D Dm Slowly drift across wax ponds Chorus: A Gbm Dbm Gbm The men all played along to marching drums Dbm Gbm E And boy did they have fun behind the sea A Gbm Dbm Gbm They sang, “so our matching legs are marching clocks Dbm Gbm E And we’re all too small to talk to god A Gbm E Yes, we’re all too smart to talk to god" Verse: A Asus2 A Asus2 Toast the fine folks casting silver crumbs Gbm To us from the dock. D Dm Jinxed things ringing as they leak A Asus2 A Asus2 Through tiny cracks in the boardwalk. Gbm Scarecrow now it’s time to hatch D Dm (stop) A Sprouting sons and ageless daughters. Bridge: A G Em7 Those watermelon smiles just can’t ripen underwater Just can’t ripen underwater Chorus: A Gbm Dbm Gbm The men all played along to marching drums Dbm Gbm E And boy did they have fun behind the sea A Gbm Dbm Gbm They sang, “so our matching legs are marching clocks Dbm Gbm E And we’re all too small to talk to god A Gbm E Yes, we’re all too smart to talk to god" This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

9 ukulele chords used in "Behind The Sea" by Panic! at the Disco: A, Asus2, Dbm, D, Dm, E, Em7, Gbm and G
I’m slightly triggered by the fact that this version doesn’t have waves of wooden legs in it, that’s the funnies part
Also then you can’t do the wave arms
If you don’t know what I’m talking about look up when they performed Behind The Sea in Norway on YouTube, it’s the funniest thing.
Strumming pattern?
I have some alternate fingerings for Asus2 and Dbm
Asus2 – 4400 Dbm – 1104
A—- A—4
E—- E—-
C—4 C1—
G—4 G1—
(for this part of the song)
A
legs of wood waves
Gbm
Waves of wooden legs
Gbm
Waves of wooden legs
Asus2 is easier if you bar the second fret and have a finger on the second string on the fourth fret and another finger on the third string on the fifth fret in my opinion.
For an easy way to play this with some finger picking, when you switch between A and Asus2, just put your pinky on the 4th fret of the A string, and then your ring finger on the 2nd fret of the A string. 4th fret for A, 2nd fret for Asus2. Sounds more like the original song as well
Here’s how I do the chords for the verses, rather than A and Asus2, I do A but put my pinky finger on the 4th fret of the A string, then for the other chord, the ring finger on the 2nd, like so:
A-4
E-0
C-1
G-2
and then
A-2
E-0
C-1
G-2
Not only is this easier, but I think it sounds way more accurate. Experimenting with these notes, you can also make it sound closer to the actual picking used in the song (especially going off the alternate version).
A-4———2——2
E-———0————
C-———————1
G-2—2——2 2 2
(Apologies for bad formatting, this is my first attempt)
What does 4440 mean?
Replce Asus2 with Dsus2.
The information at the bottom about Brendon and the band in general is so outdated!
AhhhAhhHhhhhHh alternative fingering for Dbm please?! I have the whole song down ExEpT fOr tHat ChorD It’S KilLing Me InSide
Okay I’m really sorry but it bothers me when the lyrics are wrong
its supposed to be “a day dream spills from my corked head”
Also before the watermelon smiles it’s supposed to say “don’t You Know” two
times
Sorry if I sound annoying it just really bothers me ?
and then also, for the other beginning riff [the second/main one] i do:
A————————–
E————————–
C————————–
G-6-2-4-22-4———–(2x)
for the beginning riff i do:
A—————————–
E—————————–
C——–4-3—————-
G-4-2-0—-2-0————
i hope this is formatted correctly because i’ve never had to write tabs out digitally. i hope this helped!! [if you think anything is wrong, do tell me]
-2 is really good 🙂
For the Riff/intro at the start I play Bm and then lift up the finger on the fourth fret first string and then pluck second fret first string and then pluck the first string open, then pluck the second fret of the second string, then play Dm, then I pluck the second fret first string and then puck the first string open hope this helped
Instead of Asus2 I use Amaj7 (1100) and it sounds just as good with the bonus of being super easy to play :^)
If Asus2 and Dbm are too hard you can just do regular A and D ?
+3 is also way easier, and works if you have a higher pitched voice!
(-2) is better in my opinion.
