Skinny Love - Bon Iver (Simple Ukulele Tutorial) Chords

[N] Bonjour, comment ça va?
[F] Je m'appelle le [A#] ukulele teacher et je [G] suis ici aujourd'hui_ _
_ _ Hello, it's me the ukulele [C] teacher here to teach you how to [F#m] play a very simple version of Skinny Love by [A] Bon Iver
So _ [G] grab your uke, make sure it's in [C] tune _ _ [C#m] _
and get ready to play Skinny [G] Love
This is a [C#] simplified version of the song for players of all [Gm] abilities
Now there's just five very easy chords in the song and four of them are C, F, G and [G] A minor
which you probably [B] already know.
The fifth chord is _ Gsus2.
[G] If you do know the chords already, skip ahead now
Otherwise, I'll give you [G#] a quick refresher course.
To play the [C] chord of A minor
Just put [C#] your second finger [Bm] on the second fret of the fourth string.
A minor [A] should sound like this _ _ _
[C] To play the chord of C, just put your third finger on the third fret of the first string.
C should sound like this
_ _ _ To play the [Gm] chord of F, put your first [Em] finger on the first fret of the second string [B] and your second finger on the second
fret of the fourth [G] string.
F should [B] sound like this
[F] _ _ _ [G] To play the chord of G, put your first finger on the [C] second fret of the third string
Your second finger [G] on the second fret of the first [C#] string and your third [D] finger on the [A#] third fret of the second string
[G] G [Am] should sound [G] like this
_ _ [C#] _ [G] And the chord of Gsus2 is exactly the [F] same as G
But you [C#m] lift up your [B] middle finger from the second fret of the [G] first string.
So Gsus2 [A#] sounds [G] like this _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ The three [A#] main chords you'll need for the intro are A minor, [Am] _
C and Gsus2
[G] The strumming pattern I'm playing is down down up [B] down up like [Am] this.
Down down up down up down down
up down up _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ So play that strumming pattern once on the A [G] minor, once on the [C#] C and once on the Gsus2 [B] and it goes [C] like this
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
And then the last part [A] of the intro, the strumming is easy.
It's just down up down up down up down [G] up like this _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] And keep your finger on the Gsus2 shape all the way through.
Basically
[A#] The only note that's [E] changing is on the third [C#] string.
You're playing 2 [C#m] 4 2 2 [B] 4 2 [G] But instead [F] of playing the note [G] individually like this _ _ _ _ _ _ You [A] play it as you strum [G] the Gsus2 chord. So it sounds like this _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
2 4 2 2 4 [C] 2 And play that pattern [B] twice on the Gsus2 So it's one strum on [C] the A minor, the C and the Gsus2 [G] And then the down up down up down up down [C] up on the [G#] Gsus2 Let me play you through that intro [B] then one more time putting it all [Am] together _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Not only [G#] is that the intro but you also play it as a little [D] gap between the chorus and [G] the verse _ _ Now the strumming pattern for the verse is the same as the strumming pattern you play in the intro down [B] down up down up Down down up down [G] up. So the first three lines of the verse you [C#m] just play one pattern on A minor and [Am] three [G] on C like [Am] this _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#m] And the [Gm] second half of the verse you play twice on G and [A] twice on A [G] minor like this _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] And then you simply repeat the whole thing [C#] again starting [C] from the first [A] line So [C#] put that all together and the verse should sound like [Am] this. Come on skinny [C] love just last the year _ _ _ _ _ _ Pour a little salt we were never here _ _ _ _ [Am] My my my my [C] my my my my _ _ _ _ _ [G] Staring at the _ sink of blood and [Am] profane _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I tell my [C] love to wreck it all _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Cut out all the ropes and let me fall _ _ _ _ [Am] My my my my [C] my my my My _ _ _ _ _ _ Right in the [G] _ _ moment _ This all [Am] your _ soul _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ And the course is just [C] twice on c once on f and once on g [B] played through four times [C] like this _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#] And that should sound [G] like this I [C] told you to be _ patient And [F] I told you to [G] be fine And [C] I told you to be balanced and [F] I told you to [G] be kind In [C] the [G] morning i'll [C] be with you [F] but it'd be a different [G] _ kind [C] I'll be holding all the chickens and [F] you'll be owning all [G] the fun _ _ _ And then after the chorus but before verse two just play the intro once again And that's how to play skinny love [Cm] by bon iver [C] I've been the hula [G] teacher if you have any requests for [F] future lessons Let me know in the comments below until next time. I love you all and I wish you the best
