4 ukulele chords used in "Sad Beautiful Tragic" by Taylor Swift: Am, C, D and G
I love this song!
As others have mentioned, it is “distance, timing, breakdown, fighting,” and “time is taking it’s sweet time erasing you,”
And in the first first, it’s “good girls, hopeful they’ll be and long they will wait” not “and lonely will wait,”
and its “time is taking its sweet time erasing you” not “time is ticking a sweet summer race in you”….
I think you have a typo on the part where it says, “we had a beautiful, magic love there” you have it saying “affair”.
The lyrics are kind of mixed up but otherwise thank you for the chords!
These chords work great! The lyrics are a bit mixed up but if you know the song as well as me, you probably don’t need lyrics at all lol. Fun fact: One reason this song works so well on the ukulele is because Taylor Swift originally wrote it with a ukulele
It’s not time is ticking a sweet summer race in you, it’s time is taking its sweet time erasing you
I used a capo on the first fret and it sounded better.
strumming pattern?
It isn’t lonely will wait, it’s long they will wait
Also, another typo on the bridge (?). It goes, Distance, timing, breakdown, fighting.
