4 ukulele chords used in "How To Save A Life" by The Fray: C, D, Em and G
okay this is just laziness to not put the chords through the whole song. yes they’re the same but it’s hard to scroll up when you’re trying to play the song all the way through
for some reason I felt like the notes were off, but that’s probably just me.
Please put the chords throughout the song it’s hard to keep scrolling around and I keep losing my place!!
I’m pretty sure this is in the wrong key, and +3 is the right one
the intro is so fun to play! and I agree with the other comments that it would be a lot easier to have the chords written on every verse. otherwise, love this one!!
so I’m not the only person who loves this song XP
I can’t listen to this song without crying, let alone play the rift at the beginning.
I belive on the part ‘how to save a life’ Bb and F should be switched
+2
+2 has easy chords and sounds good on a girl’s voice!
My favorites one right now!!!! ☺
-2 for me.
-5 for me
What does it mean to transpose the chords 3 half steps down I’m still a beginner but love this song also anyone know the strumming pattern
Original key is +3
thats weird here are 8 year old comments ._.
HIIIII TUBOOOO
For the strum pattern I use DU*chuck*D
just me or does the fingerstyle intro not match the chords? Any advice welcome
The key of the intro is different than the key of the song…
