And She Was - Talking Heads - Ukulele Chords

I'm a big Talking Heads fan, but boy oh boy are David Byrnes chord changes not the most comfortable on the ukulele. You won't forgive me for that fast E to A change. Still, makes for good practice.

And She Was - Talking Heads


[E] [A] [E]

 [E]And she was [A]lying in the [E]grass
[E]And she could [A]hear the highway [E]breathing
[E]And she could [A]see a nearby [E]factory
[E]She's making [A]sure she is not [E]dreaming

 [Bb]See the [F]lights of the [C]neighbor's [F]house
[Bb]Now she's [C]starting to [F]rise
[Bb]Take a [F]minute to [C]concen [F]trate
And she [Bb]opens [G]up her [C]eyes

[E]The world was [A]moving, she was [D]right there [A]with it
And she [E]was [A] [D] [A]
 [E]The world was [A]moving she was [D]floating [A]above it
And she [E]was [A] [D] [A]

[E]And she was [A]drifting through the [E]backyard
[E]And she was [A]taking off her [E]dress
[E]And she was [A]moving very [E]slowly
[E]Rising [A]up above the [E]earth

 [Bb]Moving [F]into the [C]uni [F]verse
[Bb]Drifting [C]this way and [F]that
[Bb]Not [F]touching the [C]ground at [F]all
And she’s [Bb]Up ab [G]ove the [C]yard

 [E]The world was [A]moving, she was [D]right there [A]with it
And she [E]was [A] [D] [A]
[E]The world was [A]moving she was [D]floating [A]above it
And she [E]was [A] [D] [A]

 She was [Bm]glad about it ... no doubt about it
 [G]She isn't sure about where she's gone
 [Bm]No time to think about what to tell them
[G]No time to think about what she's done
And she [E]was [A] [E]
Hey Hey, Hey [E] Hey [A] [E]

[E]And she was [A]looking at [E]herself
[E]And things were [A]looking like a [E]movie
[E]She had a [A]pleasant [E]elevation
[E]She's moving [A]out in all [E]directions Oh Oh Oh
 [Bb]Hey [F] Hey Hey [C] Hey Hey [F]
Hey [Bb] Hey Hey[C] Hey Hey [F] Hey
[Bb]Hey [F] Hey Hey [C] Hey Hey [F]
Hey [Bb] Hey Hey[G] Hey Hey [C] Hey……

 [E]The world was [A]moving, she was [D]right there [A]with it
And she [E]was [A] [D] [A]
[E]The world was [A]moving she was [D]floating [A]above it
And she [E]was [A] [D] [A]
 [E]Joining the [A]world of [D]missing [A]persons
And she [E]was [A] [D] [A]
[E]Missing en[A]ough to [D]feel [A]alright
And she [E]was [A] [D] [A]
 And she [E]was [A] [D] [A]
 And she [E]was [A] [D] [A]

Ah, sorry - blame Youtube. You should find an alternative via google.

If you use barred E and A chords, that transition isn't so bad.

That's how I play it. For beginners though barres are the problem! If nothin else, songs like this will help prompt new players to stop avoiding those tough chords!
