Everything I Own - Bread (Ukulele cover)

I heard this song the other day and it reminded me what a beautiful song it is. I hope you like it.

Thanks to Deach for the strings! These are d'Addario Titanium T2 strings, and feel so perfect on this Kala. He uses these strings on most of his videos too, so check out his page for some great videos if you haven't already.

Chords and lyrics below (my uke is tuned down half a step - ie. F#-B-D#-G#):

[C] You [Cmaj7] sheltered me from [Am]harm,
[C] kept me [F] warm [Fm6] kept me [C] warm [G].
[C] You [Cmaj7] gave my life to [Am] me,
[C] set me [F] free [Fm6] set me [C] free [G]
[Dm] The finest years I ever [G]knew [Gsus]
[Dm] were all the years I had with [G] you.

And [F] I would give [C] any [Dm] thing I [G] own,
[F] Give up my [C] life, my [Dm] heart, my [G] home.
[F] I would give [C] every [Dm] thing I [G - Gsus] own
just to [F] have you back a [C] gain.

[C] You [Cmaj7] taught me how to [Am] love,
[C] what it's [F] of [Fm6],what it's [C - G] of
[C] You never [Cmaj7] said too much but
[Am] still you showed the [C] way
and I [Bb] knew, from [F] watching [C] you
[Dm] Nobody else could ever [G]know [Gsus]
[Dm] The part of me that can't let [G] go.

(repeat Chorus)

Bridge:

Is there [Am] someone you know, you're [C] loving them so
but [Fmaj7] taking them all for [F] granted?
You may [Dm] lose them one day, someone [F] takes them away
and they [Bb] don't hear the words you long to [G] say.

(repeat Chorus)

just to [F] touch you once a [C] gain.

Love it!! I heard this recently in a sweets advert and I had to immediately search for it. Very nicely done, any chance you can post the chords and strumming pattern? Many thanks!!

Have to say, I just stumbled upon your corner of YouTube, you have a certain quality in how you interpret these songs. This track is now haunting me in a good way! thank you!
