Daft Punk – Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger (Chords)

When Spencer requested this song I thought it was the most ridiculous, inappropriate song to try to play on the ukulele – which is why I had to have a go at working it out (and it gave me an excuse to watch the ‘groovy dancing girl’ video over and over).

The intro is the trickiest part. It’s a quick change between the Bb and the C, so I suggest you use the Bb chord shape and slide it between the two. Then the main chord progression kicks in. Although the chords and lyrics remain pretty much the same throughout the song, they get squeezed as the song goes along so that the words and chords move against each other. It’s quite a nifty trick and suits the theme of the song.

The final part of the song is the only part that is hard to make work on the uke – it’s just bass and vocoder. The chords I’ve put in are at least half invention. So feel free to change them.

If you want to play along with the original you’ll have to tune down a fret to B.

    I’d love to hear a performance of this on the Uke – I’m a bit of a newb myself so I don’t think I could do it justice… :D

    It was suggested by Spencer, so I think he should be badgered into recording it (as punishment for making such a ridiculous suggestion).

    In response to the King Blues super fan, people usually only make tabs for popular music. You’d be better off asking fellow King Blues fans to make you some tabs.

  8. Woodshed on October 16th, 2008 9:59 pm

    Denny: I don’t mind making tabs for unpopular music. King Blues are certainly popular enough to be on here. They’re on the list – but it’s a big list.

    what happens If even if you click on the red name nothing comes up?

    Kain: The link looks like it’s working fine. The first step would be to check you have the latest version of Adobe Reader.

    How did you (and Spencer) read my mind! This is the first song I ever wanted to learn how to play on the ukulele, but, like you, I thought it was too absurd to even try! Little did I know that someone (some wonderful person) would ever attempt it. Now that you have, though, I’m pleased as punch! If I ever get good enough at it to give it a whirl, I’ll share a recording.

    [...] and including the one song I have dreamed of seeing tabbed for ukulele, but never thought I would: Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger by Daft Punk. I promise you this: I will practice this song until my little fingers fall off, or [...]

    Carlea: Can’t wait to hear your version.

  14. Spencer on June 20th, 2009 9:43 am

    HELL YEAH MY REQUEST IS THE 4th MOST POPULAR ON THE SITE

  15. Woodshed on June 21st, 2009 8:54 pm

    Spencer: You’re obviously a man who knows the mind of the people.

  16. Clair on November 12th, 2009 8:48 pm

    It has been done! And it’s… so much better than I expected.
