4 ukulele chords used in "the 1" by Taylor Swift: Am, C, Dm and F


















I found that Dm sounded wrong so I used F instead.
im new at the ukulele but a single strum of each chord sounds pretty good!
any recommendations for the word “shit” since I’ll be playing this song at a family gathering? thx
I really enjoy playing with this site as it has such easy chords for panic at the disco and Taylor swift. This is the first site I’ve ever used to play ukulele and its been more than a year since i started playing and I still use it! overall this song is so easy for beginners. HIGHLY recommend:3
I like to see it as all the chords in sets of two, so eg at the beginning the F and the C. Then I island strum, the first chords on the two strums downs and the second chord starting on the way back up. You can spice it up with a chuck at the end and a softer one in the middle.
what is the strumming pattern?
DXDX is so good
If you don’t want D X you can use D UDX *change* D UDDDDU *change*
