_ _ _ _ _ _ Hey guys, it's Jen and if you clicked on this video
You're about to learn how to play loving is easy by Rex Orange County on the ukulele _
Before we begin if you check out the [Eb] description below I did leave a link to a PDF that I created
It's a tab for this song and basically it's really easy to follow along
It has the chords and the lyrics and it's super helpful.
So check that out
But yeah, let's get to it.
I did play this song using a capo
However, you really don't need one if you don't have one, so don't worry about it.
But
_ Yeah, I put it on the first fret.
[Dbm] I am also using using a concert ukulele.
It's
standard tuning and everything [Bbm] GCA and
_ _ [N] _
Yeah, so
Anyway, let's get to it the strumming pattern pretty simple.
No chucking.
It's just _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ So _
let's do that together and
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Pretty easy, right?
All right, [N] and next I'm gonna be
Putting down all the chords you need to know right here
If you feel like you're very comfortable and you know all of them then you can skip to the time stamp
I have right here.
If not, no need to fear because I'll teach you how to finger all of them
So to begin with you need to know how to play C C is pretty simple
You just on the third fret right here
I don't know if it'll be focused or not
But on the third fret the string in the very bottom the a string you [Eb] put your finger down there and it should sound like [Bbm] this _ _ _ _
[Eb] Next you need to know D minor with D minor on the first fret
You're gonna put your finger on the second to bottom string right here.
And then the second fret the [Ebm] top two
like this _ _
_ Then you need to know E minor
You're going to be kind of die in the diagonal [C] shape
So starting with the second fret this bottom string right here the a string
Then the third fret your finger is going to be on [Ab] the second to bottom
This the E string and then on the fourth fret your finger is going to be right here on the C string _ _
_ Then [Eb] you need to know
[C] Where's my?
_ _ Then you need to know the chord F F is pretty simple on the first fret your finger is gonna go right here second to
Bottom-string the E string then on the second fret your finger is gonna go right here on the top string the G string should [Gb] sound like this
_ _ Next you need to know E flat.
This is the only hard [A] chord I would say in the whole song
but if you keep practicing, I'm sure you'll get it it took me a while to get used to but
Yeah, so on the first fret your finger is gonna go on this bit the bottom string the a string and then on the third fret
You're gonna be putting down these [Db] three strings right here
Then ones at the top [Em] G C and A so it should sound something like this
_ _ _ Something like that and then lastly you need to know G7.
It's like a triangle shape first fret
you're gonna be playing the second to bottom string the E string second fret you're gonna be playing the C string and
_ [Gb] the a
String right here.
It should sound [Ab] like this
_ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
_ _ sweet and
[Db] Next I'm going to be teaching you guys how to play so the intro all you need is C [Ebm] D minor
[Fm] E [Ebm] minor and D minor again, so it's just down down up up down up so should sound [Db] like
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
[Db] so C
_ [Ebm] D minor
_ [Fm] D minor [Ebm] and D minor.
Let's do it [Db] again C
_ [Ebm] D minor
_ [Fm] _ D minor [F] and D minor
And I do a down strum then you start off with the chorus the [Ab] chorus same sequence of chorus
Just at the end you play a G chord
[Eb] So I'll make sure I have photos up here so you guys can follow along but let's do it together.
So it goes
_ [Db] Loving is C
You had [Ebm] me D minor it [Fm] used to be E minor
[Ebm] D minor again [Db] loving is C
when [Ebm] everything's E minor
_ [Fm] E minor _ [Ab] and
G so [Eb] singing let's do it together
_ Nothing [Db] is easy
You [Ebm] had me messed up.
[F] It used to be so hard [Ebm] to see
Yeah, loving [Db] is easy when [Ebm] everything's perfect
Please [Fm] don't change a single little [Ab] thing for me
And [N] now we're going to the pre-chorus
_ Also pretty simple
You're just basically gonna be transitioning from [F] F and E minor then F and E minor F and E minor
And the last line is the only hard line it has like a it has a variation of chords, but we'll get to that.
So
[B] _ So listen girl then the F.
So [Gb] listen girl when you [Fm] can't even be minor and _
[Gb] then F
_ _ [Fm] minor _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ Then the last line until [E] E flat _ _
[Ebm] D minor
_ _ [Ab] G and
[B] G7 let's do that together singing _
So listen
_ [Gb] When you can't [Eb] even hide it
[Gb] And it didn't take [Bb] forever to [Fm] find it
[Ebm] I was all on my [Fm] own almost glad to be alone until [E] _ [Ebm] love came in
_ [Ab] on time _
_ [B] Then you do the chorus again, which we already learned and the last part you really need to know that is different is the bridge
Same [D] chords you've been [Eb] playing.
It's just gonna be a C D minor and [Ab] E minor and a G
So [Eb] you go?
_ _ [Db] _ C _ [Ebm] D minor
_ _ [Fm] E minor
_ [Ab] Mg and again
[Db] C _
_ [Ebm] D minor _ [F] E minor and [Ab] G.
Let's sing [Db] it _ _ _
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ And [Ab] _ _ then again pre-chorus [Gb] so listen
When you [Eb] can't even hide it and then it [N] is the chorus then it does the bridge again
And that's the whole song pretty simple, right?
You guys can totally do it.
