7 ukulele chords used in "50 Ways To Say Goodbye" by Train: Bb, B, Db, Ebm, F, Gb and Abm
These lyrics are correct. Sometimes it says says goodbye, but sometimes it says you died. 🙂
veggie02 is right transpose it -1 and put a capo on 1st fret and its in the right key with the recording
Can we talk about how Emma got roasted? Cause damn she was w r o n g. Also on a helpful note, leaving out the second Db in Db Ebm Db, makes it easier to play. (and my fingers are really sore after trying to do all three…) So just a little tip for people with weak fingers and slow movements.
I found it helps on the outer for g to be the last chord.;-)
I think -1 sounds best. I spent quite some time going from the song to my voice to the ukulele. Hope this works for others too.
Strumming pattern anyone?
dunno what y’all mean, this sounds good to me. the only weird thing to me was the F before the Bb during the “I’m not good at goodbyes” melody, but i definitely get why they added it. this is good, though!
It sounds better when it is transposed up half a step (+1) at least to me 🙂
it sounds strange, not terribly bad but strange…
“And ways to say goodbye”. Not “you died”
Jeez, it’s not “and ways to say you died”. It’s “to say goodbye”. You know, like the songs title
