Hey, ukulele lovers! Today we have brought you a lesson on one of the most beautiful Christmas songs, and we are sure that you will love to play it on your instrument. This post is all about the Thanks Giver Ukulele Chords by Crowder, strumming patterns, and the information that will be needed to play this melody on your ukulele. Even if you have just started with this instrument, you can master this song in a few days and be able to perform it on Christmas Eve. So let’s proceed with the lesson and learn the Thanks Giver ukulele chords.
Chords Details
Beginners need not worry, as the chords used to play this song are very basic and can be easily learned. C major, G major, E minor, D major, and A minor are the five chords that will be used throughout the song.
Strumming Pattern
D-D-DU and D-D-U-UDUD-DU are the two strumming patterns you will need to learn before playing Thanks Giver by Crowder. For beginners, this pattern is difficult, and we would recommend that they play only “down” strokes according to the tempo of the song.
Thanks Giver Ukulele Chords with Lyrics
Note: To play the original chords, you must place the capo on the third fret. But as we know it becomes hard to play chords with a capo on smaller instruments like the ukulele, we would recommend you go without a capo and play the chords as they are given below. By doing so, the scale of the song will become one and a half steps lower, which might help low-scaling singers to sing more comfortably.
