hey everyone, here's a beginner uke tutorial for I'm Yours by Jason Mraz so let's run through our chords we have C (0003) G (0232) Am (2000) F (2010) and we hit a D (2220), see if you can stack those fingers for the D let's run through those again, C (0003) G (0232) Am (2000) F (2010) then stack for the D (2220) most of the song is just running through those first 4 chords so we're gonna try a backbeat strum which sounds like this we'll take it nice and slow {strum 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 } on the C (0003) {strum 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 } heavier strum on the 2 let's try on the G (0232) - {strum 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 } try on the Am (2000) - {strum 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 } on the F (2010) - {strum 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 } so if that extra back beat strum feels difficult, you can just play single strums on the chords get comfortable with the chords, then add that extra strum so that's the timing, we're playing 4 sets of those strums for each chord so let's try running through that on a C (0003) - (get ready 2 3 4 ) {strum 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 } G (0232) - {strum 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 } Am (2000) - {strum 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 } F (2010) - {strum 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 } good, one more round - C (0003) - {strum 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 } G (0232) - {strum 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 } Am (2000) - {strum 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 } F (2010) - {strum 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 } ok i think we're ready for the song depending on your level, newbies can change chords on the single strums you can try that backbeat strum {1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2} which is kind of like a reggae beat you can try singing along with me too if you're really fancy, you could try this slide at the beginning go to the C finger position {ring finger on 3rd fret} pluck the string and slide it up to the 5th fret just a little fun thing you can try so let's count it in, and we'll play the chord progression C G Am F [Chords in brackets] [C] [G] Am] [F] [C] Well you done done me and you bet I felt it [G] I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted [Am] I fell right through the cracks [F] and I'm trying to get back [C] before the cool done run out, I'll be giving it my bestest [G] and nothing's gonna stop me but divine intervention [Am] I reckon it's again my turn [F] to win some or learn some [C]But I won't hesi- [G] -tate no more, no [Am] more, it cannot [F] wait, I'm yours [C G Am F ] progression repeats [C] Well open up your mind and see like [G] me, open up your plans and then you're [Am] free, look into your heart and you'll find [F] love love love love [C] listen to the music of the moment, people dance and [G] sing, we're just one big family [Am] and it's our god forsaken right to be [F] loved loved loved loved [D] loved [C]But I won't hesi- [G] -tate no more, no [Am] more, it cannot [F] wait, I'm sure [C]There's no need to compli- [G] -cate, our time is [Am] short, this is our [F] fate, I'm yours [break C G Am F ] [C] I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror [G] and bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer [Am] but my breath fogged up the glass [F] so I drew a new face and I laughed [C] I guess what I'll be saying is that ain't no better reason [G] to rid yourself of vanities and just go with the season [Am] it's what we aim to do [F] our name is our virtue [C]So I won't hesi- [G] -tate no more, no [Am] more, it cannot [F] wait, I'm yours [C] Well open up your mind and see like [G] me, open up your plans and then you're [Am] free, look into your heart and you'll find [F] the sky is yours, so [C] please don't please don't please don't there's no [G] need to complicate cuz our [Am] time is short this this this is our [F] fate, I'm Yours [D]
