G Em C G Allow me to exaggerate a memory or two C G Where summers lasted longer than Am D Dsus4 D Well longer than we do C G When nothing really mattered Am Em Except for me to be with you C Am G But in time we all forgot and we all grew C G Your melody sounds as sweet Am Em As the first time it was sung C G D Dsus4 D With a little bit more character for show C G And by the time your father's heard Am Em Of all the wrong you've done C Am I'm putting out the lantern Am7 G Find your own way back home G Em If I'd forgotten how to sing C G Before I sung this song C G I'd write it all across this wall Am D Dsus4 D Before my job is done C G And I'll even have the courtesy Am Em Of admitting I was wrong C Am G As the final words before I'm dead and gone C G You've never been so divine Am Em In accepting your defeat C G D Dsus4 D And I've never been more scared to be alone C G Am Em If love is not enough to put my enemies to sleep C Am I'm putting out the lantern Am7 G Find your own way back home This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

7 ukulele chords used in "Folkin’ Around" by Panic! at the Disco: Am, Am7, C, D, Dsus4, Em and G
And for “I’m putting out the lantern, find your own way back home,” instead of doing C, Am, Am7, G, I use C, G, D, G. 🙂 that just sounds better to me.
am i the only one who feels that AM7 sounds weird, like its not the right chord?
+5 sounds a lot better in my opinion and its easier if you are a beginner 😉
This isn’t in the original, but I think it sounds nice:
After the last line, sing it again but with
E7 C G D G
Now I’m putting out the lantern, find your own way back home.
Sounds better with a capo on the first fret in my opinion.
To those struggling with the “I’m putting out the lantern, find your own way back home” line, I am fully with you, but I personally don’t find any of the already-mentioned alternatives quite right in terms of how well the chords pull into one another, so I’ve been tinkering with it for a while. ***I recommend using C, D, Gmaj7 (which is 0-2-2-2), G.***
((IV-V-I7-I for music theory nerds, instead of IV-II-II7-I))
If you want make it fancier, play the Gmaj7 on “own way”, switch to Am on “back”, and G on “home”. (This also works if you just wanna do C-D-G-Am-G instead of using Gmaj7!)
It’s easiest to quickly switch between the two if you bar the Gmaj7 with your index finger and just add/lift your ring finger on the 3rd fret of the E string to complete the G major.
When I play the G at the end, I also like to strum it as D DU DD, where the second-to-last D is a single Gmaj7.
Lemme know what you think though, and I hope this makes sense! It might be ever so slightly more difficult but I think it sounds really nice 🙂
+5 is way easier
I find the transition of “before I’m dead and gone/you’ve never been so divine” a little awkward so instead of changing the chord from G to C at the start of “you’ve” I do C at “been” so the line is
“you’ve never been so divine”
G C G
just a personal preference! 🙂
It’s kinda fun to do, instead of Dsus4, to do an E7sus4 (I know sounds scary!!) but while you’re playing D, just move your index finger to the second fret of the A string. Not better or anything, just an alternative :))
DD UDU UDU
In my opinion, if you replace most of the Am’s with D’s, it sounds better 🙂 but that’s just me
In my opinion, you don’t even need the Dsus4 in there. If you find it uncomfortable, try simply continuing on through with D.
i transposed to 5+ because thats a little bit easier for my voice
does anyone know the strumming pattern for this song?
I agree with caromcmo and I also replace the A7 with a GBM and then the C instead of the G I personally think it sounds better
ah this is so fun to play!
Nope it does not ^^^^
Ending this on a C instead of a G sounds good as well.
awesome song! It’s easier to play a Dsus2 instead of a Dsus4 if you’re having trouble with that and it sounds really cool too!!
this song is way to fun to play i love it
