+Katichan Oreo I just use my index finger up and down. Maybe I'm doing it wrong? But it sounds like a toddler molesting the ukulele when I do it your way so never mind!
+Katichan Oreo Honesly, I use the tips of all my fingers. Relax your hand so your fingers hang loosely and then strum so you brush the strings with the tips of your fingers :)
You're supposed to use your thumb and second finger but I use my thumb because I find it the easiest way with fingers. I much prefer using a plectrum though
Maeve thanks .... I watched the whole thing ... played along ... got to the end and went ... wait what ?!!? Thanks for simplifying it for me .. would have taken me centuries of this on repeat to get there lol
I tried to teach myself the uke chords yesterday but gave up and worked out a piano cover instead😂 Thanks Dodie your original songs are the absolute best❤
Well you moved on ridiculously quick so much for hopeless romantic (what a liar what a liar) don't get me wrong I'm happy you found someone else to screw around (what a liar what a liar) just goes to show I'm better off without you one for the road well maybe how about you leave me alone but i'm not alone leave me alone but i'm not alone cause i got friends to help me through i'd rather be with them than you! how weird to see your true colours show i didn't think you'd go so low (liar bit) don't you dare think you cause me stress i'll rip our letters you rip her dress (liar bit) (pre chorus, chorus) remember when we kissed that night remember when you held me tight remember you and me, oh wow that's all out the window now etc etc etc!
The plucking pattern is easy. Instead of doing what she did, just use your thumb and drag it down on the notes in the tempo of the song (weird explanation I know but it's the only way I can explain it without using visuals ??) Then just use your thumb, index and middle finger to pluck the last three things like she did.
[Verse 1] Well you moved on ridiculously quick So much for hopeless romantics What a liar, what a liar Don't get me wrong I'm happy you found Someone else to screw around What a liar, what a liar [Pre-Chorus] Just goes to show, I'm better off without you One for the road and maybe how about you [Hook] Leave me alone, 'cause I'm not alone Leave me alone, 'cause I'm not alone I've got friends to help me through I'd rather be with them than you [Verse 2] How weird to see your true colors show I did't think you'd go so low What a liar, what a liar Don't you dare think you caused me stress I'll rip our letters, you rip her dress What a liar, what a liar [Pre-Chorus] Just goes to show, I'm better off without you One for the road and maybe how about you [Hook] Leave me alone, 'cause I'm not alone Leave me alone, 'cause I'm not alone I've got friends to help me through I'd rather be with them than you [Bridge] Remember when we kissed that night, remember when you held me tight Remember me and you Oh, wow That's all out the window now x4 [Outro] Just goes to show, I'm better off without you One for the road and maybe how about you [Hook] Leave me alone, 'cause I'm not alone Leave me alone, 'cause I'm not alone I've got friends to help me through I'd rather be with them than you [Hook] Leave me alone (Remember when we kissed that night, remember when you held me tight) Cause I'm not alone (Remember me and you, oh wow, that's all out the window now) Leave me alone (Remember when we kissed that night, remember when you held me tight) Cause I'm not alone (Remember me and you, oh wow, that's all out the window now)
Leah Hurst it's good to have goals but i'd say this song would be very hard to play for a beginner. when i started playing i was aiming to play the judge by twenty one pilots and it took me like 8 months to get there. lol you don't even need to listen to me i just thought it might help xx
Leah Hurst omg I got a really cheap uke last year for Christmas with the same intention, but I found it hard to play this so I gave up. I practiced for a year and came back to the video this year and now I can play it! Best of luck to you :)
I played this a few weeks after I got mine, now me and Crystal (My Uke) are happily playing all of Dodie's songs, after almost 1 and a half years :) I would say its easy for a beginner. x
SUCCESS, I just bought a crappy 30 dollar uke just to learn this and other songs by Dodie. And now I have LEARNED IT! Thanks so much for the tutorial! I'm totally with you that I don't learn strumming patterns as much as I just... play them. Although, the timing for muting and unmuting could have been clearer. I figured it out eventually though :) All in all, it took me about 2 hours last night plus a total of 3ish hours today to have it somewhat solid. Now another day of just practicing and I'll have it mastered aaaaaaaa! :D You're such an awesome person Dodie! Hugs from America!!
its been a few years but ive noticed she gravitates towards barre bare chords since she generally incoprorates a lot of muting/chucking which really adds an interesting sound, its what makes so many of her songs more difficult to play. (dodies ability to understand rhythm is mind boggling for me i suck at rhythm)
DODIE this song. Is seriously amazing. Thank you so much for making a karaoke version because now I can sing along whenever I want. I also write songs but I only have a guitar right now, and this is forcing me to realize I need to save to buy a ukulele because there's just such a good quality to ukulele songs that you can't get on a guitar. ALSO THANK YOUUU for showing how you mute and chuck bc that has been a mystery to me. Praise. This song is FANTASTIC and you are so inspiring to all your fellow song writers out there :) Good job, friend.
a little helpful thing for those who don't know where to come in. (I sat for a few minutes flipping between this and the original so it should be pretty close). also my times are not exactly perfect just listen and try and get it in your head kind of thing. moved on (first come in): 4:00 leave me alone (chorus) : 4:30 true colors: 4:58 goes to show: 5:15 leave me alone (chorus): 5:24 remember when: 5:32 gl with the ending. a few listens and you should get it.
Can you please make a video teaching us how to play that awkward duet you did with john cozart? I loved it so much and my ukulele is basically begging me to play it! 😊
Could you pls put the chords in description cause that would be reaaally handy. I'm also maybe gonna cover this song because I FREAKING LOVE IT. Have a nice day! x I :)
Thank you so much for including the instrumental!! I've wanted to cover this on instagram or twitter or something (or maybe my youtube channel when I make one in a few months) but I can't play musical instruments for shit so this is great! :D
For everyone wondering how the heck you are meant to strum or do the cords or anything, try learning some simpler songs to get used to strumming and then it will be easier to play this :)
Thanks for this! I struggle so much with strumming patterns, I generally have to stick with one or two in every song but I'm gonna study this so hard hahah
Evan makes this video oh my lord😂 this video is making me miss sitc so much, you played amazingly then and you didn't believe me when I told you at the meet up ahah❤️
Bec S do you know where to mute it?!?! i really really really want to know! thank you so much for the strumming pattern but i don’t really understand how the mutes/chucking fits in?
I decided to learn this song first as I got my first ukulele yesterday. I may be finding it easy buuuutttt I HAVE been playing guitar for, what, 6 years now? So the fact I got my ukulele yesterday is kinda negated by that (even though guitar doesn't translate to ukulele as easily as you think it would.... damn C string) :P
AestheticMind I'm positive I do it differently, so I'll just tell you how I make it easier. I just place my fingers back on the strings after plucking them instead of muting them with my left hand.
yours might not sound the same if yours isn't as high quality as others. you could also consider getting new strings or a tuner that you can attach to it to make sure it sounds better.
Bless you and bless this video. I've recently experienced something that 110% relates to this song and I'm so happy you have this video here so I an learn it

I was about to start singing my heart out then that picture of Evan made me absolutely DIE laughing. Thank you for that it made my day
Me too. I was preparing myself to sing but no. Evans face appeared haha
The photo at the end omg
One for the road is about Evan #confirmed
It's about Tom isn't it?
+Harry Morris they were joking -.-
+Harry Morris pretty sure they were joking about Evan, it's just because of the picture :)
Yes :)
Well my UA-cam jut messed up on my iPad and commented that 3 times, whoops
This makes no sense to my incredibly untalented musical self, but I'm still watching it anyway. 😁👍
Same 😁 I'll just listen to the song instead of trying to play it!
Yup
Oh my god I didn’t know you watched Dodie’s videos
I don't even play ukulele but I'm still watching like my life depends on it
same hahaha
Same
I honestly watched it just to hear Dodie play ukulele 😂
EVANS PICTURE IM LAUGHING
HOW THE FRICK FRACK DO YOU STRUM A UKULELE I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT PART OF MY HANDS TO USE
I just use a felt-plectrum, because I have freaky long fingernails and if I touch the strings with them it sounds like I'm trying to torture it...
+Katichan Oreo I just use my index finger up and down. Maybe I'm doing it wrong? But it sounds like a toddler molesting the ukulele when I do it your way so never mind!
+Katichan Oreo Honesly, I use the tips of all my fingers. Relax your hand so your fingers hang loosely and then strum so you brush the strings with the tips of your fingers :)
I like to use my thumb to strum cause it makes a softer sound
You're supposed to use your thumb and second finger but I use my thumb because I find it the easiest way with fingers. I much prefer using a plectrum though
"You are here for one reason and one reason only."
Me: is actually here to see that picture of Evan
I feel like fetus Evan is judging me for not learning it myself!
Me me me this is exactly what I felt 😂
+Izzy//Sanchez xo lol hi past me
Strumming pattern is D D U D D
bless your soul im so bad at getting the stumming pattern without knowing exactly what it is
Thank you, you are the person I needed. Now if only I could figure out where to mute...
Fizzy._.Banapple THANK YOU
God bless ur soul jfc I need to have some kind of guideline when it comes to strumming
is (with muting) it
D D (mute) U D D (mute)?
Your jumper looks absolutely fantastic with your eyes!!! It really compliments them !

Honestly I have had such a stressful month and I think looking forward to each veda every day has been the only thing to keep me sane
Why does this picture of Evan bring me so much joy?
He's so sad aww lol
Even after reading all the comments saying "OMG that picture of Evan!!!1!", I still wasn't ready for it.
Love you both.
I tried to teach myself the uke chords yesterday but gave up and worked out a piano cover instead😂 Thanks Dodie your original songs are the absolute best❤
It's been 84 years and Dodie was the one who finally taught me how to chuck, tysm
Well you moved on ridiculously quick
so much for hopeless romantic
(what a liar
what a liar)
don't get me wrong I'm happy you found
someone else to screw around
(what a liar
what a liar)
just goes to show
I'm better off without you
one for the road
well maybe how about you
leave me alone
but i'm not alone
leave me alone
but i'm not alone
cause i got friends to help me through
i'd rather be with them than you!
how weird to see your true colours show
i didn't think you'd go so low
(liar bit)
don't you dare think you cause me stress
i'll rip our letters you rip her dress
(liar bit)
(pre chorus, chorus)
remember when we kissed that night
remember when you held me tight
remember you and me, oh wow
that's all out the window now
etc etc etc!
thanks
PROTIP
igotsnax
soft and neat?
Dodies face in the thumbnail and her aura during this video are giving me life.
The plucking pattern is easy. Instead of doing what she did, just use your thumb and drag it down on the notes in the tempo of the song (weird explanation I know but it's the only way I can explain it without using visuals ??) Then just use your thumb, index and middle finger to pluck the last three things like she did.
Salo the Alpaca BLESS YOU❤
YES!! this is a perfect solution bc i cant pluck for shit :"
Evan's picture I'm crying
THAT PICTURE OF EVan MADE ME SO HAPPY
*"i like the sound of rain"*
dodie? rain? i never would've guessed it.
OMG THANK YOU IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG!!
There is a thing that I love in your videos, you look like you're having so much fun doing them and it is good to see that !
I DIDNT EXPECT EVAN'S PIC NOW IM LAUGHING

I'm getting a ukulele for Christmas and I wanna learn this so bad but I'll probably be a pathetic potato
Leah Hurst OMG SAME

No offense, but that explanation of the stumming thing literally didn't help at all. I'm totally lost. Maybe it's just me...
Krazy Kat_xoxo same! I need it in like down up
According to @Fizzy._.Banapple, it's down down up down down (she commented about a month ago) :)
A way thats pretty close at least to what she does is: D U Mute U D U U U Mute U D
your videos are so calming, and your voice is like a magical fairy lullaby (hope that's not weird)... love u dodie!
*sees video in sub box* *immediately whips out ukulele*
YES IVE BEEN DREAMING WISHING WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO OMFG YESSSSS
How do you come up with chord progressions that aren't really boring and basic? The ones you write are always so interesting I love playing them xxx
its been a few years but ive noticed she gravitates towards barre bare chords since she generally incoprorates a lot of muting/chucking which really adds an interesting sound, its what makes so many of her songs more difficult to play.

• reagan • D D U D D
YES, I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. THANK YOU DODIE.
Thank you so much for the karaoke version! I'm still pretty new to ukulele and that's beyond my abilities haha! I can now cover it YAY! :3 x
100.000 subs! I'm so happy!!!!!!!!! You are my favorite youtuber!!!!!!!!!!!! YAAYYYYYY
Evans picture omGg. such a cute child.
thanks for the tutorial doddleoddleoddleoddle Clark. ilysm!!
I have no actual reason to watch this since I don't know how to play ukulele but I watch it anyway because I just love your videos :3
Can you please make a video teaching us how to play that awkward duet you did with john cozart? I loved it so much and my ukulele is basically begging me to play it! 😊
I love how she sounds really smart but also like she has no idea what she's doing at the same time :')
Could you pls put the chords in description cause that would be reaaally handy. I'm also maybe gonna cover this song because I FREAKING LOVE IT. Have a nice day! x I :)
+Isabel Valentine there is one on ultimate guitar, just google it and it should come up

As someone who doesn't play an instrument my mind is blown!!!! You have such a talent!!!!
of all pictures I'm so happy you chose fetus evan x
“I don’t do strumming patterns” that’s so relatable it’s scaryyy.
THE PICTURE OF EVAN good choice
ermahgahd i love these chords so muchhh
also, that picture of evan at the end gives me life
Thank you so much for including the instrumental!! I've wanted to cover this on instagram or twitter or something (or maybe my youtube channel when I make one in a few months) but I can't play musical instruments for shit so this is great! :D
I've been waiting for this!! Thank you so much!!!
I saw this and never have I been so happy to have a karaoke! This song makes me so happy but I cannot play! Thankyou Dodie!xx
For everyone wondering how the heck you are meant to strum or do the cords or anything, try learning some simpler songs to get used to strumming and then it will be easier to play this :)
dodie your vedas are the only reason to smile for me some days i loved every single one soso much thank youuu♡♡
Thanks for this! I struggle so much with strumming patterns, I generally have to stick with one or two in every song but I'm gonna study this so hard hahah
Evan makes this video oh my lord😂 this video is making me miss sitc so much, you played amazingly then and you didn't believe me when I told you at the meet up ahah❤️
THE STRUMMING PATTERN WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME.
Nvm I got it
i still help lol
Dodie you post this right after I strained to learn it myself. Dammit. Still love you though.
for strumming patterns tho...when you strum do you go down down up down up down????????!!!! so confused and i really want to know
allyb0_0 it's down down up down down
Bec S
do you know where to mute it?!?! i really really really want to know! thank you so much for the strumming pattern but i don’t really understand how the mutes/chucking fits in?
Ur so close to 100,000 subscribers on here!! Congratulations u are amazing and you deserve it😉
Evan's picture is the highlight of the video.
This is so helpful. I just got a ukulele for my birthday and this is my absolute favourite song at the moment. Thank you x
I decided to learn this song first as I got my first ukulele yesterday. I may be finding it easy buuuutttt I HAVE been playing guitar for, what, 6 years now? So the fact I got my ukulele yesterday is kinda negated by that (even though guitar doesn't translate to ukulele as easily as you think it would.... damn C string) :P
Very proud of myself that I managed work it all out before this video! But this was helpful too! AH YOUR SO GOOD AT SONGS AND MUSIC :D xx love you :)
Everyone's complaining about the picking pattern, but I find that to be the easiest part. I can't get the muting part of the bridge down!
Laura E same
Laura E I'm also pretty confused at the part during the plucking when she does the mute while plucking. Care to explain?
AestheticMind I'm positive I do it differently, so I'll just tell you how I make it easier. I just place my fingers back on the strings after plucking them instead of muting them with my left hand.
THE PICTURE OF EVAN I'M SCREECHING
Stole the pattern from who its about ehh. Is it just me or does it sound suspiciously Tom Law-ish
it is him haha
+angelswebb Sooo is there a story im missing?
+UKGB I don't know any story just that they dated and it ended :)
+UKGB she used to date tom?
+UKGB there is a story yes but I think that would be best not to tell right now :) sorry
Dodie is the best ukulele teacher.
I get a ukulele saturday, im definetly gonna learn this :)
Ahahaha about to sing along with the karaoke version ad Evan pops up! BRILLIANT! Love you Dodie xx
YES
I CAN PLAY IT SOON
THANKYOU
I LOVE YOU
The song is a genuine classic and I can't wait to try and learn it! Thanks so much for making this!
Now all I need to do is to get a ukulele
The auto captions for this are marvellous
people staring at me like 'why are you saying 'dgadada dgadada' and 'dabababa da dabababa da''
+Katrina Eloize 'babdaba babdaba'
me
why are you everywhere
dodie this is ridiculously helpful, I am eternally grateful YAS
Question- What kind of Uke do you play? like a soprano or concert, etc.? And how is it tuned? mines G, C, E, A.
She plays a concert but she also has a baritone that she plays in intertwined. It's rare to tune a uke different from G C E A
Gwyneth Terry Thank you so much!
yours might not sound the same if yours isn't as high quality as others. you could also consider getting new strings or a tuner that you can attach to it to make sure it sounds better.
Bless you and bless this video. I've recently experienced something that 110% relates to this song and I'm so happy you have this video here so I an learn it
Omg yes I've been wanting to learn how to play it
Your picture gives me life 😂
Omw your profile picture :'))
+DeathIsInevitable I THOUGHT THE SAME THING

Evan looks absolutely miserabblleeeeee! Hahaha I could even sing because of that picture
I WAS ABOUT TO SING ALONE VERY BADLY BUT THEN THE PICTURE OF EVAN CAME UP AND I COULDNT STOP LAUGHING
DMAJ7 IS IMPOSSIBLEEEE
you are honestly my ukulele inspiration 😊💕✌
Anyone else lost?🙋
allison freeman me
I'm here after her Human tour Detroit show where a fan played the song for her and dodie couldn't remember the words
Well. I'm trying to follow along......

Victoria Kosc same
you ever watching this vid and playing ukulele and then your brother hits you with that "i love you too" for the first time since you were nine
me: oh hey dodie made a tutorial!! i would love to play her songs!!
*30 seconds later*
me: oh god hOW
OMG Evans picture, I'm crying thank you for adding that
Yes! Finally 😂🙌🏼 you look gorgeous and I can't cope 🙈💘
DODIE IS A BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING.
I'm sad veda is almost over.
