12 ukulele chords used in "betty" by Taylor Swift: A, Am, Bm, C, D, Em, F, Fm, Gbm, G, Gsus2 and Gsus4
if you don’t feel ✨comfortable✨ saying “tell me to go **** myself” the non-explicit version says “tell me to go straight to hell”. it’s a nice alternative and it has the same meaning :>
Please listen to the original then LOLO’s version from betty’s view. And then the cover from August/Inez’s point of view on YouTube it really tells the story.
Instead of the two Cs side by side at the beginning of each verse I changed the second C to a G; I think it sounds much more fluid. After the key change I switched the second D to an A, not sure if another chord would suit better but it seems ok.. hope this helps!
this song gets me everytime ?for the strumming pattern i did a single stroke and then DDU for prechorus and the chorus. i think it sounds pretty if you do single stroke on “the worst thing that i ever did” part too.
for the strumming pattern, i use dduudu and then for the bridge i do 4 single down strums on each chord
if you switch out gsus4 for g7 it’s easier and i think it sounds better 🙂
i love this song its so sweet!!!
sooo good. love this one
I loooove this song! I think its so cool that taylor has matured and is singing more sof songs than her upbeat reputation! Thanks! this was so much help!
anyone know the strumming pattern??
Lovely song I used G instead of Gsus2 and gsus4 and I think sounded better but apart from that PERFECT!
i personally switch out the Gsus4 for a simple g. I like it more personally
in the begining of the song it is switched not changed.

I’m really sad she decided to use cuss words on her new album. I’m very disappointed in you Tay I thought you were better than that ?
