Ariana says Thank You

Ariana says Thank You

So…it seems Ariana’s feeling better about life and written a really pretty song to show it.

Of course, because we’re learning it at school, we won’t be singing exactly what she sings 😉

 

thank u, next

Thought I’d end up with Sean
But he wasn’t a match
Wrote some songs about Ricky
Now I listen and laugh
Even almost got married
And for Pete, I’m so thankful
Wish I could say, “Thank you” to Malcolm
‘Cause he was an angel.
One taught me love
One taught me patience
And one taught me pain
Now, I’m so amazing
I’ve loved and I’ve lost
But that’s not what I see
So, look what I got
Look what you taught me
And for that, I say
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next
I’m so I’m so grateful for my ex
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next (next)
Thank you, next (next)
I’m so I’m so
Spend more time with my friends
I ain’t worried ’bout nothin’
Plus, I met someone else
We havin’ better discussions
I know they say I move on too fast
But this one gon’ last
‘Cause her name is Ari
And I’m so good with that (so good with that)
She taught me love (love)
She taught me patience (patience)
How she handles pain (pain)
That stuff’s amazing (yeah, she’s amazing)
I’ve loved and I’ve lost (yeah, yeah)
But that’s not what I see (yeah, yeah)
‘Cause look what I’ve found (yeah, yeah)
Ain’t no need for searching, and for that, I say
Thank you, next (thank you, next)
Thank you, next (thank you, next)

Thank you, next
I’m so I’m so
One day I’ll walk down the aisle
Holding hands with my mama
I’ll be thanking my dad
‘Cause she grew from the drama
Only wanna do it once, real bad
Gon’ make that stuff last
God forbid something happens
Least this song is a smash (song is a smash)
I’ve got so much love (love)
Got so much patience (patience)
I’ve learned from the pain (pain)
I turned out amazing (turned out amazing)
I’ve loved and I’ve lost (yeah, yeah)
But that’s not what I see (yeah, yeah)

Viva La Ukulele

Now, for the kids who fancy playing that on the Ukelele, here’s an excellent web-site for us.
https://ukutabs.com/a/ariana-grande/thank-u-next/?transpose=0#point
Our biggest problem is that when Ariana recorded the song, she played it in a really difficult key.
It’s in D flat, which means some tough chords on the ukelele!
The site above let’s you change that and learn how to play it with easier finger positions
(you can’t then play along with the video, but it will be much more fun to do until you get better at ukelele).
So…when you look at the page on Ukutabs.com, look for ‘transposer’ and the line of numbers next to it.
Then click on -1. That will change the chords and give you much easier ones. You might even know some of them already!
