UKULELE CHORDS

Am                       E
I met a man of two feet tall
         Cadd9
This man was quite ambitious
        F             Fm            Am
In a world that is so vicious to us all
        E          Cadd9
I said, "Hi," as he replied
                           F                G               C
He said listen to these words that I have lived by my whole life


                Am                            F
"You're only as tall as your heart will let you be,
                    G                                C
And you're only as small as the world will make you seem
                        Am                                 F
And when the goin' gets rough, and you feel like you may fall
                   G                                     Am
Just look on the bright side, you're roughly six feet tall."

Am                       E
I met a man of twelve feet tall
       Cadd9
He towered like a giant
        F             Fm            Am
In a world that was defiant of his height
        E          Cadd9
I said, "Hi," as he replied
                           F                G               C
He said listen to these words that I have dreaded my whole life


                Am                            F
"You're only as tall as your heart will let you be,
                    G                                C
And you're only as small as the world will make you seem
                        Am                                 F
And when the goin' gets rough, and you feel like you may fall
                   G                                     Am
Just look on the bright side, you're roughly six feet tall."


Am


Am                       E
I am a man of six feet tall
       Cadd9
Just lookin' for some answers
        F                Fm            Am
In a world that answers none of them at all
            E         Cadd9
I'll say, "Hi," but not reply
                           F              G                  C
To the letters that you write because I found some peace of mind


                   Am                           F
Cause I'm only as tall as my heart will let me be,
                  G                              C
And I'm only as small as the world will make me seem
                        Am                             F
And when the goin' gets rough, and I feel like I may fall
                   G                                  C
I'll look on the bright side, I'm roughly six feet tall.

It’s a pity that strumming patterns aren’t provided, could you however provide a list of common strumming patterns instead? Just in one of the blog post type things.

You all need to please stop putting weird comments on this website. This is for ukulele tips and tricks not for you to have a free therapy session to state all your problems and annoying dirty jokes. Because big surprise nobody wants to read the comments of people who are being immature. We are here to have tips and tricks on how to become a better ukulele player and so please please please stop this madness.

On a different note, I loved these tips and tricks and I think these are totally useful for people who want a little help with the ukulele but do not want to watch a video. This is confusion free and helped me so much I totally recommend this to anyone! 10/10 stars for these tips!

Thanks 🙂

Thank you! I’ve been playing for probably 6 years. I don’t play a ton but this website has helped me slip right back into the rhythm whenever I’m back at it! I’ve always been a drummer first and foremost but the Uke allows me to maintain an understanding of melody/chords and keep my vocals in tune!

John

Biography

Never Shout Never is an American powerpop band from Joplin, Missouri, originally formed in 2007 as a solo project by musician Christofer Drew Ingle (born February 11, 1991).

Drew showed the world that with the help of MySpace and great word of mouth, anyone with worthwhile work ethic and talent can start a monumental snowball effect towards success. After recording an EP by himself in his basement, NeverShoutNever! became an instant online success story, averaging over 40,000 online plays a day, and headlining shows throughout the Midwest.
