The Limeliters – Take My True Love by the Hand (from Breaking Bad) (Chords)

The Limeliters – Take My True Love by the Hand (Chords)

Two songs from the closing stages of Breaking Bad this week. Starting off with The Limeliters’ Take My True Love by the Hand from the dung beetle scene in Ozymandias.

It’s a simple song. Just four chords repeated. But you do need to capo at the first fret if you want to play along with the original.

Suggested Strumming

For the F and F7 do this once each:

d – d u

And for the rest of the chords do this once each:

d – d u – u d u

Together they sound like this:


Strum

Twiddly Bits

The guitar does a lick at the end of each chord progression. Here are a couple of ideas you can use on the uke. Again, use a capo at the first fret when you’re playing along with the original.

TakeLoveLick1

Here’s how that sounds along with the chords.

    Woot! Thanks for this one!

    Are we allowed to request songs? Cause if we are, you should write out the chords for “Everybody’s Got Somebody But Me” by Hunter Hayes feat. Jason Mraz. It would be so pretty on the ukulele and I don’t trust any other chords/tabbers but you.

    Angela: Sorry, no more Mraz.

    excellent cheers Al, we haven’t got this far in the series yet, we are still on season 3, but there have been some great tunes so far,

    Why “no more Mraz?”

    krabbers: Enjoy the rest of the series. I’m sure you will.

    Coni: I got really sick of him with all the I’m Yours stuff.

    I got worried you were saying you weren’t “allowed” for some reason. I’ve heard some of the youtubers are getting into trouble for tutorials on modern songs and at least one website I know of was in trouble for posting chords.

    Coni: There are a couple of artists that I don’t post for legal reasons but Mraz isn’t one of them.
