5 ukulele chords used in "Ruby" by Twenty One Pilots: Am, C, Em, F and G

















Okay but every time he says ruby, switch it to rosie
I saw this on random and when I say I g a s p e d
as I understand there have to be “homeland” instead “hometown”
for the intro before the chords I play
a:3—7—2—3—7—2~~~
e:———————————–
c:———————————–
g:———————————–
this song is so precious
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!!!!
Any tips for my other friends who can’t play as well and have trouble transitioning from *any chord* to Em?
Happy day after Tyler’s birthday!!!
Hey I got my uke for Christmas and this song is so easy to learn! The only thing I have a question about is the strumming patterns and at the part where he usually says you’re an angel, could I possibly only do 2 notes instead of 4??
This song is about a girl with Down syndrome that went to Tyler’s church. My sister has Down syndrome. You can probably see how much this song means to me.
It repeats “Tell our dad I’m sorry” more times than listed. This wouldn’t bother me, but the number of times isn’t even close.
I just played G instead of Em. It sounds better to me anyways. Hope that helps!
heh that’s weird. after reading complaints about the key, i switched back to 0 and it was all corrected lolol. on one of my favourite covers of this, they strum dduudu 🙂
The right key is having the verses be C, Am, and Em, instead of D, Bm, and Gbm:
C Am Em
Ruby I hope I see you, I’ve waited all this week
C Am Em
For you to walk my way, your soul will capture me
then continue that until the next verse, where it’s:
F Am G C G F
You’re an angel fallen down, won’t you tell us of the clouds
(F) Am G C G
You have fallen from the sky, how high? how high?
then, to add the little riff part of the piano in the song, play:
C Am Em
You’re true and pure
and then after Em move your finger on the A string to the first fret and back twice.
like this:
A|3–3–0–0–2–2–1-2-1-2-|
E|0–0–0–0–3–3–3-3-3-3-|
C|0–0–0–0–4–4–4-4-4-4-|
G|0–0–1–1–0–0–0-0-0-0-|
Hopefully that helped anyone who needed it 🙂
This is my favorite twenty one pilots song and Ive heard from Drown (No phun intended) to Implicit demand for proof, to Lane boy, to trees, and this is still my favorite!!
My uke is named jishler
