6 ukulele chords used in "Isle Of Flightless Birds" by Twenty One Pilots: Am, B, C, D, Em and G
Finger picking part sounds so cool!
tyler never said he has schizophrenia. in the run and go, he said ‘my prayers schizophrenic’, that didn’t mean he was, it meant he was praying for things that might not be real or something like that (i read somewhere)
For the end instead of the chords, I just did this: (like everyone else I just changed the end a little)

E|——————————3
Help it’s hard
The strum in the into: DUxD
Em, Am, G, B
THIS IS FREAKING BEAUTIFUL BUT EASY TO PLAY AAGGHH
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG I’VE LONGED TO PLAY THIS SONG ON MY UKE!!
I just wanted to share that the first four notes of the intro (the 2,3,4, and 0) are supposed to be played together. I finally figured that out after a few minutes of confusion.
i use fast DDUUDU strumming pattern.
Strum pattern????????
Happy to see this finally on here! If anybody wants some easier tablature, this is what I was able to figure out from the song.
xA|—2 0———0—-2-0————-|
xE|——- 2-2-2 — 2——2-0–0—2-|
xC|—————————-2—0—|
xG|-0—-0——-0-0——0————|

It then goes into the Em Am G B four times before you start singing. This song is awesome on ukulele, I always have a blast playing it! |-/
(For an extra challenge, end the song on a G chord and have it carry into Truce)
BiRtH. And STuFf
The intro sounds a little bit off to me, this is how I’ve tried to play it:
A: 2 2 0 2
E: 3 3 2 3 2 3 5 3
C: 4 4
G
Still trying to see if I can figure out more, but that’s all I got for now.
stay alive frens |-/
The pattern I use is DXD (Like down, pause, down). I use my nails rather than my finger tips to get that loud and more intense feel. Then play loud and strong, and repeat into a fade for the ending. When the song speeds up just simply do one down stroke, sounds better when ya rap. Hope this helps any who need/want it 🙂
When I played this song I only said one thing.
