Outkast – Hey Ya! (Tab)
Here’s my take on Outkast’s Hey Ya! which was ably covered by the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra back in the day.
Verse: The big challenge with this arrangement is the speed. The second verse in particular needs some quick alternate picking.
The other thing to watch out for is the bars of 2/4 that crop up on the G chord in the verse and chorus.
Chorus: I’ve arranged the chorus a couple of ways. The first half (bars 8 to 13) is just strumming it through (with the exception of a little bit of picking in bar 12).
Then in the second half (bars 14-19) I add in the synth riff. It’s more tricky to play but the chorus feels incomplete without it. It’s your choice which way to play it.
