Intro: Play this small picking part or simply a G ( same goes for the other chords ): |-----------| |--3---3----| |-----------| |----0---0--| G Verse 1: G Fall is here, hear the yell G Back to school, ring the bell C Brand new shoes, walking blues G Climb the fence, books and pens D Cadd9 G I can tell that we are gonna be friends D Cadd9 G I can tell that we are gonna be friends Verse 2: G Walk with me, Suzy Lee G Throught the park and by the tree C We will rest upon the ground G And look at all the bugs we've found D Cadd9 G safely walk to school without a sound D Cadd9 G Safely walk to school without a sound Verse 3: G Well, here we are, no one else G We walked to school all by ourselves C There's dirt on our uniforms G From chasing all the ants and worms D Cadd9 G We clean up and now it's time to learn D Cadd9 G We clean up and now it's time to learn Verse 4: G Numbers, letters, learn to spell G Nouns and books and show and tell C At playtime we will throw the ball G Back to class, through the hall D Cadd9 G Teacher marks our height against the wall D Cadd9 G Teacher marks our height against the wall Bridge ( or whatever ): C G We don't notice any time pass C G we don't notice anything A We sit side by side in every class C Teacher thinks that I sound funny, D But she likes the way you sing Verse 5: G Tonight I'll dream, while I'm in bed G When silly thoughts go through my head C About the bugs and alphabet G And when I wake tomorrow I bet D Cadd9 G That you and i will walk together again D Cadd9 G I can tell that we are gonna be friends D Cadd9 G6 I can tell that we are gonna be friends ( one strum on final chord ) This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

6 ukulele chords used in "We’re Going To Be Friends" by The White Stripes: A, C, Cadd9, D, G and G6
i love this song. even though the only reason i knew it was because it’s in the beginning of napoleon dynamite lol
I like to use this pattern instead of what’s given:
|——–2———-2—–|
|—————————|
|—2———————-|
|————-0————|
I use this for every chord except for the Cadd9, on that one I do this: (it matches the vocals more)
|——–3———-3—–|
|—0———————-|
|—————————|
|————-0————|
Total bop!
A lovely song with excellent composure. On a soprano concert ukulele, I put a capo on first fret and play the chords without transposing them. I have a higher voice, and I really like the way this sounds!
Did cadd9 sound off for anyone els?
I really like +5 but replacing the Fadd9 with a normal F. I just think it sounds a lot more like the actual song.
Lol, I like your username
I find that the living pattern doesn’t sound all too good, so I choose to go
—2
—3
—2
-0—
So… It goes g string, all the rest, g string all the rest… And so on.
I took it to -2 and tuned my uke down a step and it sounds great.
so glad to see some white stripes on here! ^^ sounds perfect as well!
I used CAEA as a picking pattern
The strumming pattern is DUDU
Also, I find C to work better than Cadd9
Strumming pattern, anyone? 🙂
anyone got a pattern?
this song makes me feel things and nostalgia, and it honestly makes me wish i was still in elementary school
Strumming pattern?
i like to pick the a and g string and just ply the chords that are there
i like doing a +5
Go to -5 but instead of Gadd9 do plain old G. Easier!!
