NeverShoutNever! – Your Biggest Fan/Did It Hurt? (Chords)


NeverShoutNever – Your Biggest Fan (Chords)

Here are the chords for the rest of NeverShoutNever’s Me & My Uke EP due to popular demand and to help ukulele-playing school boys impress girls (which is the closest to a noble calling this blog is ever likely to get).

Your Biggest Fan is another fairly straight forward three-chord affair with just C, G and F all the way through.

Suggested Strumming

Right at the start it’s:

d u x u d u

Then for the rest of the verse keep going with the x u d u

In the chorus the ‘da da’ part is just down strums. Then there’s this:

d – d u – u d -


NeverShoutNever! – Did It Hurt (Chords)

This one is much more interesting musically (if a little cheesy lyrically) and obviously owes something to Hellogoodbye. He uses a few chord inversions further up the neck and adds in a few more interesting notes.

Suggested Strumming

For the most part you can go with:

d – d u – u d -

But switch to just one strum for the end of the verses and chorus.

    good chords woodshed but i can’t help but feel that angsty teenagery fluff such as this really doesn’t fit the voice of a uke.
    btw the UOGB were great and some of the solo’s were just brilliant they played a couple of songs which weren’t on live at london too which was good including a very good cover of last night by the strokes.
    they were as expected a very good value night out at £15 a ticket to be within metres of such a brilliant band.

    Muaha armed with this I’ll be a crazy haired chick magnet in no time.
    Have you ever noticed that on his myspace the adolescent girls actually fight over him in the comment box?
    He must be wearing a copy written body spray or another…

    cbf: I hope they’re going to record Last Night. I wanna hear it.

    Joey: I did see a few comments from girls crying because they heard he has a girlfriend – using along the lines of “Who is she? I’ll scratch her eyes out.”

    i was in two minds about bootlegging the concert woodshed, but my minidisc recorder broke so i’m afraid there is to be no such luck

    I’m going to have to stick with the old, hairy ,and ugly guy stuff. It fits me so much better than the young, hairy ,and pretty guy stuff.

    And it’s not “angsty teenagery fluff” it’s “Pish”…though it has just as much a place in the ukulele world as “Zany” & “Wacky” covers…no matter how well played!

    in england they don’t tend to follow when i refer to things as pish

  10. Woodshed April 2nd, 2009 6:17 am

    Rob: I’m sure in a few years he’ll be as ugly as the rest of us.

    Jimmy: Copiedrightened.

    cbf: I follow pish. I talk enough of it.

    “This one is much more interesting musically (if a little cheesy lyrically) and obviously owes something to Hellogoodbye”

    The chorus does sound exactly like Hellogoodbye. But I like Hellogoodbye better :]

    I like the first song better and its really easy, thanks for the chords on both

  15. Woodshed April 15th, 2009 9:52 pm

    cbf: Thanks for clearing it up.

    Bethany and ukelelebegginer: You can find the chords by clicking the red letters under the video.

    so is his uke a soprano?
    because nothing ever sounds the same on my tenor..haha

  17. Bethany September 27th, 2009 9:16 pm

    What do the little numbers on the left side of the chords mean? I don’t see the difference between a “Dadd11″ and a C or a “Bb” and an A.

  18. Kai October 12th, 2009 9:49 pm

    Bethany: The little numbers on the side show how far down on the frets you have to play it on. For example, a Dadd11is played starting on the 9th fret.

  19. Woodshed October 14th, 2009 4:38 pm

    haley: Whenever I’ve seen him, he’s been playing a tenor.

    Kai: Thanks for clearing it up.

    hahah really sorry xD, Just beggin to play the ukulele, and i don’t know what mean the X in d-u X u-d-u
    is it like i stop or what? :/ XD

  21. Woodshed December 3rd, 2009 4:52 pm

    mia: They’re chnks. You bring your hand down on the strings as you strum to produce a clicking sound.

Got something to say?
