Chords
In order to play this song on the uke, you need to do a few things differently
to get it to sound right.
1. The song is in G, which uses Em. Kurt uses E5 on the acoustic version. We'll use E5.
2. You need to play the high D on the A string on the D chord to get the descending sound
3. The bass interlude/solo can be played 2 ways; I'll show both
4. This is the acoustic live version not the heavy/power chord version
[VERSE] Chords used in the verse. Note the high D on the A string of the D* chord! E5 G D* C A|-2---2---5---3-| E|-0---3---2---0-| C|-4---2---2---0-| g|-x---0---2---0-| [CHORUS] Chords used in the chorus D C G Bb A|-0---3---2---1-| E|-2---0---3---1-| C|-2---0---2---2-| g|-2---0---0---3-|
[INTERLUDE]
The bass plays this in the song. You can play it a couple different ways,
but each way is the root notes of the 4 chords in the verse! (E-G-D-C)
