Verse: G C Hey, where did we go G D Days when the rain came G C Down in the hollow G D Playin' a new game G C Laughin' and a runnin', hey hey G D Skippin' and a jumpin' G C In the misty mornin' fog G D With our hearts a thumpin' C D And you Chorus: G Em My brown eyed girl C D And you, my G Brown eyed girl Verse: G C Whatever happened G D To Tuesday and so slow G C Going down the old mine G D With a transistor radio G C Standing in the sunlight laughing, G D Hiding behind a rainbow's wall, G C Slipping and sliding G D C D All along the water fall, with you Chorus: G Em My brown eyed girl, C D G You my brown eyed girl. Bridge: D7 Do you remember when we used to sing G C G D7 Sha la la la la la la la te da just like that G C G D7 G Sha la la la la la la la te da la te da Verse ( same as before ): So hard to find my way, Now that I'm all on my own. I saw you just the other day, My how you have grown, Cast my memory back there, Lord Sometime I'm overcome thinking 'bout Making love in the green grass Behind the stadium with you Chorus: G Em My brown eyed girl, C D G You my brown eyed girl.

5 ukulele chords used in "Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison: C, D, D7, Em and G

















I suggest using a D instead of a D7 during the la te da part
Jus as a suggestion for D7, if you can’t do it, don’t do D. Try putting your index finger on first string, second fret, and your middle finger on third string, second fret. That is D7 too, just an octave higher.
best way to play the riff to brown eyed girl
for beginner
I LOVE THE SONG IT IS VERY GOOD AND FUN TO SING AND PLAY ON THE UKULELE THE 0 IS REALLY EASY AND THE +6 SO MUCH FUN THANK YOU????
What’s the best strum pattern for this I am struggling with the Sha la la part in particular my current pattern doesn’t flow well
this should be an accurate tab for the riff. I have never made one, so I’m not sure if there are any rules with the hyphens. it’s fairly simple. If you have a hard time playing both of the strings at the same time, then you can play just the riff on the E string and it’s the same just doesn’t have as much sound to it! 🙂 Hope my first tab was helpful.
C ——————————————————————
G ——————————————————————
E —3—5—7—-5—3—8—10—12—10—8—-3—5—7—-5—3
A —2—3—5—-3—2—7—-8—10—-8—7—-2—3—5—-3—2
C —————————————————-
G —2————————————————
E —2—-3—-5—-3—-2—-[3]——————— x2 all the way
A —————————————————- through the riff, then add on the [3] at the E string the last time playing through.
This actually is very close but the song and chords should really be in C like the original. so instead of G C G D it would be C F C G. its not only easier but also how the song was originally written
Transpose down to -7
Good song
how I wish the chords were throughout the song!
for D7, it usually comes after D. SO instead of moving your entire hand position, stay in D and add the pinky.
Plus 5 is pretty easy
If you are having trouble with the strum try DDX or DUX many people do it different ways but it is called the chuck strum
I was taught to play in Bb F C7 F but these chords are way better.
How am I supposed to strum with the song?
how do I download the entire song?
@arkmanandrew – transpose to +5
the D7 i think sounds better as just a D
I hope this turns out alright, I’ve never done one of these before, but in this key, the intro sounds something like:
–2–3–5–3–2–3–5–7–5–3–2–3–5–3–2–0
–3– — — — –2– — — — –3– — — — –2
–2– — — — –2– — — — –2– — — — –2
–0– — — — –2– — — — –0– — — — –2
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
