Taylor Swift - Can I Go With You Ukulele

G
Any day now 
C                G
They're talking war 
                                   Am   C
I can see the light that's in your eyes 
G
They're not talkin 
C         G
A week or two 
Am                       G
Oh daddy can I go with you 
Am   C                  G
Oh daddy can I go with you 

G
You pack a suitcase 
            C                 G
And take a picture from the wall 
                               Am   C
I always knew this time would come 
G      
When I ask how long 
      C                G
You think you're gonna be 
         Am        C                   G
You say "Eh, this crazy world's come undone" 

G
Summer's over 
       C               G
And leaves begin to fall 
                            Am   C      
And another winter's on the way 
G                        C            G
I knew I wasn't gonna take this very well 
              Am            C            Am    G
But I'd give everything to have you here today 


G
Every day now 
C                G
They're talking war 
                                   
I know this time has been
                     Am   C
Like its never been before
G
We're not talkin 
C              G
About week or two 
Am  C                     G
Oh daddy can I go with you 
Am  C                     G
Oh daddy can I go with you
Am   C                  G
Oh daddy can I go with you

  No capo is required.

Chords Used:
   G:  0232
   C:  0003
   Am: 2000

Strumming Pattern:
- Opt for a simple strumming pattern that complements the
  song's conversational and reflective nature. A good choice
  could be Down-Down-Up-Up-Down-Up (DDUUDDU) to maintain a
  gentle rhythm throughout the song.

Song Structure:
- Intro: Begin with the G chord to set a contemplative tone.

  the narrative style of the lyrics.
- Chorus: Follow the same progression as the verses, emphasizing
  the emotional plea in the lyrics.
- Bridge/Outro: Continue with the same chord progression, allowing
  the repetitive nature to underscore the song's themes.

Common Mistakes:
- Over-strumming can overpower the vocal melody and the song's
  delicate nature. Maintain a controlled strumming intensity.
- Not paying attention to the emotional delivery. The lyrics
  are poignant and should be delivered with the right emotional
  tone.
- Missing the timing on chord transitions, especially from G to
  Am and back. Ensure smooth transitions to keep the flow of the
  music consistent.

Lyrics Theme Summary:
"Can I Go With You" is a heartfelt song expressing a child's
desire to accompany their father as he prepares for war. The
song captures the innocence and longing of the child juxtaposed
with the grim realities of conflict. The recurring question,
