Verse 1: Bm a rake of claws against a mirror D Grazing pelts we all once wore Em a kindling of a swordless bloodshed Gb The creaking of a voiceless door Bm Where does a mind like yours wonder D When it's sung to sleep Em Mind the clamours of the restless bidders Gb Before you choose to weep Chorus: Bm And the Hound D Is humming you Em Gb a lie, a lullaby Verse 2: Bm Stuck in the middle of a forest made of D Flesh and bones and they're all scared of Em a lost little boy who has lost his heart Gb Fear's not enough, they have to Tear him apart Bm Follow the scent of iron sinking D Deeper into corpses rotting Em But they can't hear you talk, talk, talk Gb About every little thing Every little thing, every Chorus: Bm And the Hound D Is humming you Em Gb a lie, a lullaby Bridge: Bm It clicks and it clatters in corners and borders And they will never D Hear me here listen to croons and a calling I'll tell them all the Em Story, the sun, and the swallow, her sorrow Gb Singing me the tale of the Harpy and the Hare a cappella: (nc) And the Hound (nc) Is humming you (nc) a lie Chorus: Bm And the Hound D Is humming you Em Gb a lie, a lullaby Bm And the Hound D Hums Em Gb a lie, a lullaby Bm And the Hound D Hums Em Gb a lie, a lullaby Bm And the Hound is humming D And the Hound is howling Em And the Hound is humming Gb You Bm D And the Hound, oooh Em Gb (a lie, a lullabye) Outro: Bm And the Hound D Is humming you Em a lie Gb a lullaby Bm D Em Gb This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

4 ukulele chords used in "And the Hound" by Yaelokre: Bm, D, Em and Gb
I find transposing it to +1 is much easier. Some shifts between chords are awkward, but it’s not as straining on the hand as the Gb and Bm in the original (at least for me, but I have small hands so take this as you will)
I found the transposing it to -2 and putting a capo on the 2nd fret is so much easier and sounds better actually. If you’re having trouble with the E, E7 works even better
If you struggle to reach the Gb chord just play G7 instead. Sounds a little more abrasive but is easier for the hand.
