Sophie Madeleine /Rocky and Balls – Beard Song (Chords)

Sophie Madeleine – Beard Song (Chords)

Before we get down to business, a little time-sensitive news: The Ukulele Shop is having a closing down sale. It’s a bit of a disaster for UK ukers, but you can pick up a few bargains on the site for now.

orlandosoyyo did some chords up for this on Uker Tabs. It’s a good write up, but I had the chords slightly different so I thought I’d put mine up as well.

One point I differ on is the last verse which, unlike the previous verses, starts with a G chord. It makes for a very pleasing transition from the A7 chord at the end of the middle section (which contains a G note). I was all ready to declare it a genius piece of songwriting. Except she has what might be a ‘wait, am I playing the right chord?’ look on her face at the time.

You can buy this song on BandCamp.

    Really liked the “beard song.” And grandmas pretty much always do end up with beards …

    I picked up her album after the Uke Hunt interview a little while back. I thoroughly enjoyed it in entirety, but “You Are My Favourite” is an utterly fantastic song. It is impossible not to smile while listening to it.

    It would be cool if you guys can publish the chords of Take your love with me (the Ukulele song) by Sophie Madeleine.

    And I higly recomend Sophie’s Bandcamp – the albun Love. Life.Ukulele is really great!

    Lee: It’s an excellent album.

    Mendes: It will be coming up on the blog.

    I agree with Lee; “You are my Favourite” is by far my favorite (haha, song joke). It would be cool if you could publish the chords to that one too, also by Sophie Madeleine :)

    You’re right, she’s amazing! I’m hooked on Sophie Madeleine!!!

    Jessie: Glad you like!

    Love this song but the Cdim is really hard for me and is stopping me from being able to play it. Is there another chord I could play instead for now and I will try to beef up my barre chords?

  18. Woodshed January 24th, 2015 3:13 pm

    Rachel: If it’s the barre throwing you off you can play it with one finger per string. Or you could move the G7 chord shape up one fret and stop the g-string moving with your thumb.
