Just Like Heaven - The Cure - Ukulele Chords

Well, I had a huge response to the ukulele chords I put up for the Cure song Boys Don't Cry, so lets go with another - Just Like Heaven.


Now you will find a lot of uke chords for this song on the net that have been transposed to avoid the E chord. I was going to do the same, but thought, hang on - I shouldn't be encouraging people to play the E chord. I know it is difficult but it's better to get it nailed than not, trust me.

The song is pretty much based around one pattern of A (2100), E (4442), Bm (4222) and D (2225). When you move from the Bm to the D, it's important in this song that you play the D correctly with that note on the fifth fret, rather than a lazy D in order to sound a difference between the two chords.


INTRO

[A] [E] [Bm] [D] x 2

Show me show me [A] Show me how you [E] do that trick
The [Bm] one that makes me [D] scream she said,
The [A] one that makes me [E] laugh she said
and [Bm] threw here arms ar [D] ound my neck

[A] Show me how you [E] do it
And I [Bm] promise you I [D] promise that
I'll run a [A] way with you [E]
I'll run a [Bm] way with you [D]

[A] [E] [Bm] [D] x 2

[A] Spinning on that [E] dizzy edge
I  [Bm] kissed her face and [D] kissed her head
And [A] dreamed of all the [E] different ways
I [Bm] had to make her [D] glow

[A] Why are you so [E] far away
She [Bm] said, why won't you [D] ever know
That I'm in [A] love with you [E]
That I'm in [Bm] love with you [D]

[F#m] You [G] soft and only
[F#m] you [G] lost and lonely
[F#m] you [G] strange as angels
[D] Dancing in the deepest oceans
[E] Twisting in the water, you're just like a

[A] dream [E] [Bm] [D]
Just like a [A] dream [E] [Bm] [D]

[A] [E] [Bm] [D] x4

[A] Daylight licked me [E] into shape
I [Bm] must have been as [D]leep for days
And [A] moving lips to [E] breathe her name
I [Bm] opened up my [D] eyes

And [A] found myself [E] alone alone
A [Bm] lone above a [D] raging sea
That [A] stole the only [E] girl I loved
And [Bm] drowned her deep in [D] side of me


[F#m] You [G] soft and only
[F#m] you [G] lost and lonely
[F#m] you [G] Just Like Heaven [D]

Boys Don't Cry - Ukulele Chords - The Cure

Been noodling with this one on ukulele today - Boys Don't Cry by The Cure.


Now, when you glance down at the chords you may think, woah! hang on - this aint a beginners song! But actually its a pretty simple progression that doesn't require a lot of finger movement.

The C#m in this is played by sliding the shape for the Bm up to the fourth fret (to 6444), and then on to the Dmaj just slide up again to the fifth fret and add an extra note on the C string so its 7655. The progression is really just a case of going up the neck then back down again quickly. Video at the end to assist and a Soundcloud too.

INTRO

A Bm C#m Dmaj     Dmaj C#m Bm A (x2)

[A] I would say I'm [Bm] sorry if I [C#m] thought that is would [Dmaj] change your mind
[A] But I know that [Bm] this time I have [C#m] said to much been [Dmaj] too unkind

[A] I tried to [Bm] laugh about it
[A] cover it all up with [Bm] lies
[A] I tried to [Bm] laugh about it
[A] hiding the tears in my [Bm] eyes

Cos [A] boys don't cry [Bm] [C#m] [Dmaj]  [Dmaj] [C#m] [Bm] [A]
[A] Boys [Bm] don't [C#m] cry [Dmaj]  [Dmaj] [C#m] [Bm] [A]


[A] I would break down [Bm] at your feet and [C#m] beg forgiveness [Dmaj] plead with you
[A] but I know that [Bm] it's too late and [C#m] now there's nothing [Dmaj] I can do


[A] I tried to [Bm] laugh about it
[A] cover it all up with [Bm] lies
[A] I tried to [Bm] laugh about it
[A] hiding the tears in my [Bm] eyes

Cos [A] boys don't cry [Bm] [C#m] [Dmaj]  [Dmaj] [C#m] [Bm] [A]
[A] Boys [Bm] don't [C#m] cry [Dmaj]  [Dmaj] [C#m] [Bm] [A]


[A] I would tell you [Bm] that I loved you [C#m] If I thought that [Dmaj] you would stay
[A] but I know that [Bm] it's no use and [C#m] you've already [Dmaj] gone away

(BRIDGE)

[E] misjudged your [F#m] limits
[E] pushed you to [F#m] far
[E] took you for [F#m] granted
[D] thought that you needed me [E] more more more now

[A] I would do most [Bm] anything to [C#m] get you back by my [Dmaj] side
[A] But I just [Bm] keep on laughing [C#m] hiding the tears in my [Dmaj] eyes

Cos [A] boys don't cry [Bm] [C#m] [Dmaj]  [Dmaj] [C#m] [Bm] [A]
[A] Boys [Bm] don't [C#m] cry [Dmaj]  [Dmaj] [C#m] [Bm] [A]

REPEAT TO END
