7 ukulele chords used in "Better Than Revenge" by Taylor Swift: A, B, C, Dbm, E, F and G




















the original key of the song is B minor (-2) for anyone who is wondering.
She is a queen
the taylor’s version is out and that means there’s a slight change to these lyrics, by the way. the line about the mattress has been changed to, “he was a moth to the flame, she was holding the matches”, so that it’s all of the fire with, you know, dialed-down misogyny. the new lyric makes me feel a lot better about blasting this song, i’ll tell you that. <3
I love Taylor’s rerecording of this song. She changed, “She’s better known for the things that she does on the mattress,” to “he was a moth to a flame she was holding the matches,” which sounds good and is more appropriate 😉
The Taylor’s Version is out now, the lyrics “She’s better known for the things that she does on the mattress” is outdated, I’m just letting y’all know, in case you find the need to adjust the chords slightly.
Whoever reads this, have a nice day/night 🙂
This song is my favorite Taylor song
Does anyone know an easier version though
Wheeeee
it sounds soooo good with DDU UDU
Is there an easier version of this
P.s. love ya Taylor
transposing +3 may be a little easier 🙂
when you transpose this the chords with *s don’t change. 🙂
Strumming patterns ?
I agree. When you transpose the chords don’t change in some sections. Hope you’ll work this out soon.
