Am                  G
 Because the last time you saw me
             C                      F
Is still burned in the back of your mind
            Am          G                  F
You gave me roses and I left them there to die

Am                      G

You gave me all your love And all I gave you was goodbye

How to play "Back To December" on ukulele by Taylor Swift

Verse 1 Melody:
- For the melody on the E-string, use your index and middle fingers
  to play the notes. This helps in achieving a smoother transition.
- Start practicing slowly to ensure accuracy in hitting each note.

Pre-chorus Chords:
- Am to G: Transition smoothly by keeping your index finger on the
  second fret, moving only the other fingers.
- G to C: Move your index finger to the first fret of the B string
  and your middle finger to the second fret of the D string.
- C to F: Use a barre chord for F or a simpler version by barring
  the first two strings at the first fret with your index finger.

Chorus Melody:
- This part involves playing higher notes on the C-string.
- Use your ring finger for higher frets to make it easier to play
  quickly and accurately.

Common Mistakes:
- Not keeping a consistent rhythm. Use a metronome to help keep time.
- Rushing through the melody. Practice slowly then gradually increase
  your speed as you become more confident.

Verse 2 and Outro:
- Similar to Verse 1 and Pre-chorus. Focus on clean transitions between
  chords and accurate melody playing.

General Tips:
- Ensure your ukulele is tuned properly to G-C-E-A before playing.
- Practice chord transitions separately before playing the whole song.
- Listen to the song while you play to match the rhythm and style.

Lyrics Meaning:
"Back To December" reflects on a past relationship with regret and
nostalgia, focusing on a heartfelt apology and wishing to go back to
better times.
