Chords for How To Play Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out - Ukulele Tutorial - Beginner Ukulele Songs

_ _ [A] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _
_ _ [E] _ [N] Hey, what's up everybody Tyler from 10 thumbs.
I'm doing another lesson today.
We're doing the blue standard
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.
Okay.
This is an excellent excellent song that you have to [A] have in your vocabulary
Clapton Bill Bronson, they all play it.
So we have about [G#] 10 chords that we need to learn
But we're gonna go [N] over the strum pattern.
We're gonna go through the chords and we're gonna break it down piece by piece
Okay, it's in four four.
There's four parts.
We're gonna dissect them and without further ado.
Let's grab the ukulele and let's do this
All right.
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.
Let's go through the chords.
We have 10 chords
Okay, so be warned as far as chords go none of them are very difficult, [C] but it's busy
So we have a C chord
_ [A#] E [E] 7 a
_ _ [A] 7 D _ [Dm] minor
_ _ F [F] major a
[F#] diminished chord
_ _ [C] [D] D 7 _ _
[B] G major [G] and
G 7
[B] Okay, _ [D] now I like to break it [G#] down as most 4-4 music is divisible by 4 [N] for me
It's easier to learn it in chunks of 4.
So we're gonna break the song into four parts.
The [C] first part looks something like this
_ _ [A] _ _
_ [D] Okay, and I'm going down up mute.
That's the whole strum pattern [C] and I'm gonna go through C down [G] mute
E7 down up mute
[Am] a7 down up mute _ _
_ [A] _ _ [B] Now on this a7 [C] if you want on the last one you can change the strum pattern a little bit to create [E] some dynamics
With your rhythm, but that's totally up to you.
If you do [C] that, it might look something like this
_ [A] _ _ _ [G#m] So get a [G] little up maybe a pause and another down
But you can switch that up.
You don't have to down up mute [N] works for the whole song.
Okay every part
So let's play that little turnaround together.
Here we go
_ _ [A] _ _ [C] All right
25% of the song is already done [A] incredible
D minor
[Dm] _ [A] a7
[Dm] minor
_ [G#m] Okay, you know it feels like I'm moving fast.
I
Don't have a lot to [G] explain the best way to learn this is deposit after each of [N] these segments each of these
Chunks of four get it down and then move on to the next part
And if you can build up like those blocks piece by piece and make sure you get each piece down before moving on
[F#] You're gonna learn this song in no time.
Okay, so the second [Dm] part D minor
_ _ _ D minor [A] a
7 D minor [Dm] for 2
[C] Okay, [F] now I switch the pattern up a little bit here
[Am] I'm just going all down with no mutes.
[F] I'm going
Da-da-da on the F and then I [G] just take my ring finger and I put it down [F] next to that F note
_ [F#] _ Creating some tension [F] right we're walking around
_ _ [A] So it's the F [F] chord
Wow down down down [F#] diminished chord down down down
third fret
[C]
That's C.
No, then you're gonna BAM
[F#] to [A] one
open a seven
[F] _ _ [F#] _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] All right, it's better on that open to [A] actually go ahead and just play the whole a7 [F] chord
Down down [F#] down down down down [G] _ [A] and when [C] you pluck that you're gonna pause for a second
Da Da Da [F] Da
_ [A] and _
[G#] Then I'm down
Let's play that [F] little part together
_ [F#] _ _
_ _ [D] D7 down up down up
[Em] G
[Dm]
G7 for that last [D] part
_ [G] _ _ [G#] _ _
That's the whole song.
[A#] That's all four parts
So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go ahead and do the plant play [E] along if you're struggling with that walk
[G] That's probably the most difficult part of the song, [C#] so really pay special attention
to that third chunk, [F#] okay?
And we're going to take it from the top.
Here's the play along, and I'm going to [Em] play through it three times.
Here we go.
_ [A] _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [F] _ [F#] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [E] _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ [B] _ _
[A] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [C] _
C [G] major is that scale.
C major pentatonic will sound really [E] nice and bluesy if you want to have some [A#] awesome
wicked [C] solos, alright?
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.
[G#] Big Bill Bronson, Eric Clapton, [G] 10 thumbs.
10 thumbs!
Alright everybody, I told you it was painless.
Now you have the blues standard.
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.
Okay, play it.
Impress your friends with [A] it.
It's in C major if you want to take a solo.
