I was scared of dentists and the dark
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
Oh all my friends are turning green
You're the magicians assistant in their dreams
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh and they come unstuck
Lady running down to the riptide
taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
you're gonna sing the words wrong
There's this movie that I think you'll like
this guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City
this cowboy's running from himself
And she's been living on the highest shelf
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh and they come unstuck
Lady running down to the riptide
taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
you're gonna sing the words wrongGsus4
I just wanna I just wanna knowFadd9
If you're gonna if you're gonna stay
I just gotta I just gotta know
I can't have it I can't have it any other way
Strum once and hold
I swear she's destined for the screen
Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen oh
Lady running down to the riptide
taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
you're gonna sing the words wrong
Lady running down to the riptide
taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
you're gonna sing the words wrong
Lady running down to the riptide
taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
you're gonna sing the words wrong
I got a lump in my throat 'cause you're gonna sing the words wrong

All of the people I know (including me) learned playing the Ukulele with that song! It's awesome and easy!

what the heck is fadd9? I know what gsus4 is but I don't know the other one. Confused?????
14 Apr 2020
It says the chords are Am G C and F but then it adds like Gsus4 and Fadd9.

At the “if you’re gonna if you’re gonna stay” verse of the song, add an F chord at the “stay” part it sounds nicely put into it

DD-UDU at the beginning. Repeat this pattern twice on C.
DDU-UDU for chorus. Repeat this pattern twice on C.
Picking pattern before "I just wanna know...":
String 3: 2-4 (Hammer)
String 2: 0-3 (Hammer)
String 3: 2
String 2: 0
Gsus4, change to F.
Strumming pattern for all of "I just wanna know..." is DDU-UDU and is repeated twice on each chord.
Hope this helps!

i got confused because i have no idea what gsus4 means or fadd9. otherwise its perfect

For the strumming pattern I use DDUUDU. I find it works with a lot of songs if you change the speed od the strumming.

Why are there xx's everywhere if I am logged in? It is super annoying!
17 Aug 2018
When I want to print there are X’s on the sheet how do I stop this? And where is the note ‘F’ used?

This is a great rendition of ‘Riptide’ , and I really enjoyed it! It is great for beginners, and it was one of the first songs I played as a beginner. Keep on strumming! -ukebywaves

If you strum one last time at the end with c it sounds more complete in my opinion
