Ryan Gosling – You Always Hurt the Ones You Love (Chords)

There’s a new film out with a ukulele song in it. So far, so blah. Here’s the part that will blow your mind: the song isn’t Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Instead he’s playing a lovely old tune that’s very well suited to the uke. I’d love to hear someone really good do this on uke. like Patsy Monteleone. I’ve written up Gosling’s version, but if you want a more jazzy take on it check out Dr Uke (it’s number 522).

In this version, he’s tuned – in the loosest sense – two frets down to roughly f Bb D G. But I’ve written up the chord shapes as if it was standard tuning.

Suggested Strumming

Something simple will get you through the song:

d – d u d u d u

The only possible hick-up might be the occasional passing chord he throws in. For example, in the intro you’d strum it something like this:
