hellogoodbye – The Thoughts That Give Me The Creeps (Chords)
I was very excited when this video cropped up on the YouTube feed on Sunday. hellogoodbye are currently slaving away in the studio and have put up a ukulele demo of a song tentatively titled ‘The Thoughts That Give Me The Creeps’. And rather lovely it is too. Obviously, I immediately picked up my uke and started working it out.
The song is in D-tuning. So start twiddling the knobs or slap a capo on the second fret.
The main strumming pattern is down, down, up, up, down.
The lyrics on the sheet are testament to why I usually just copy and paste lyrics from elsewhere on the net. I’m sure all the real lyrics actually make sense.
I wholeheartedly concur on the tightness of Yo Gabba Gabba!, if only for bringing the joys of Biz Markie to a new generation. Keep it old school, kids.
No indication when this track will be released, but there’s plenty of other hellogoodbye stuff for you to buy here and visit them on MySpace.
Great tune, thanks for pointing it out. The chord chart doesn’t correspond with the numbers for the fingering below them. Which one do we go off of?
Crookshankz: The numbers below refer to which finger you use to fret that note.
I love to see such a high profile artist using the uke, you just know its going to encourage even more young people to the ukulele side of the force!
cbf: Let’s hope so.
Is he using a baritone ukulele?
Brian: I’m pretty sure it’s not a baritone. I’m guessing it’s a concert.
i keep finding new songs i fall in love with here, and now i’m better at uke than guitar, which is ridiculous.
thanks for the chords :B
Thanks, DoctorSly. I hope this is going to be a single. Such a great song.
if i put a capo on the second fret, how would i play note A
anelec: Open G string or E string, three frets above the capo.
umm question
which fret do you play for each chord?
I’m so annoyed that I can’t buy this song anywhere! Great job tabbing it out! I absolutely love HGB, and I love that Forrest is playing the ukulele now. I love Forrest, period.
I feel like the uke is tuned a little flatter, or mine is just sharp.
Can anyone identify what uke he’s playing (brandwise)?
shalommm: There’s a guide to reading chord charts here.
Jane: I believe it’s a Kala KA-T.
Not sure if this is OBE’d, but noticed that Hellogoodbye has released three uke recordings (titled “Ukulele Recordings”). Ran across it on iTunes.
Thanks, Dave. I need to update this post.
I love this song/EP and it’s partly why I bought my ukulele yesterday!
I’m having great fun with these songs, but also wondering if there will be a tab/chords for the other song on the EP – betrayed by bones which can be heard here http://supjustin.com/post/61199517/betrayed-by-bones-hellogoodbye-have-been
ashers: Congratulations on the new uke. I might have a go at that one sometime.
Omg i need to find the piano tabs for this song!!!! Help?
