LYRICS DOWN HURR
She knows this feeling all too well
She feels her heart begin to swell
Handsome stranger
You have made her insides turn to jelly
She wants to dance around the room
Kiss you until your lips turn blue
But handsome stranger
You have made her wonder... Is she pretty?
And it's too late
She believes in fate
She's absolutely smitten
And she'll never let you go
That girl just there yes she's the one
With cupid's arrow in her BUM
Handsome stranger you have made her happy
The first in a long time!
Did you just whisper in her ear?
Words she only dreamed to hear?
Pretty lady
Look at how he's smiling,
I think he likes you!
And it's too late
You believe in fate
You're absolutely smitten,
You'll never let her go
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHWOAAAAHOHHHhohohohohhahsdhasdhkajsdhlkd
And it's too late
I believe in fate! ;D
I'm absolutely smitten, I'll never let you go
I'LL NEVER LET YOU GOOOOOOOOowoooooooooahhhhhhajshdalkjd - บันเทิง

"if you have dots on your ukulele"
**looks down at ukulele**
**grabs permanent marker**
this will have to do...
englishbreakfast Me
I actually
englishbreakfast when you're left handed and the dots are on the other side😒👎🏾
Marie Connor I'm right handed but play left tf
englishbreakfast I JUST REALIZE WHILE DOING THIS THAT I DONT HAVE DOTS. I play a special left handed guitar and even though I've played uke longer, I never realiZed
me: *learns first three chords* oh this isn't so hard!
dodie: and then it gets complicated
me: oh
Emily Cao literally me rn
Same
Ah me too
Me at school
umm, normal! G C E A :'D
doddleoddle the keys not working for me 😖
I think the keys you made up are funner =D
Rayne Harari it’s standard tuning
doddleoddle I’m confused at the strumming pattern when you do the A shape. Is it just the same strumming pattern
Izzy La Croix funner is not a word.
Dodie: "Crongrats , you can now play absolutely smitten"
Me: uh no lol
"And then it gets complicated." IT WASN'T COMPLICATED BEFORE?
Stuck Online me in school...
Me in life, all day, every day XD, I'm trying to learn to play it but the strings keep buzzing, guess I'm not pressing hard enough ^^'
No it really wasn't complicated before it was literally two fingers then moving up
I just got a uke. I will try. I will persevere. I can do this. I will do this.
I think I know how to do it.
Oh my god I'm dying.
a thrilling saga
+salamander candletin it is true but I think I have got it
+PAY YOUR FUCKING TAXES (cries)
You're welcome lovely ahaha :'D
Thanks.
For a while, I REALLY wanted to learn how to play ukulele, but I always thought it was difficult. However, after watching this, I realized it wasn't as hard as it seemed, and even if it was, I absolutely loved this song, so I just HAD to learn it. Almost a year later, and I've learned, like, 25 songs at least. I think, without this video, I might not have learned how to play when I did.
me too!
Suzie Same with me! I thought it to be hard, but turns out, it's not! PROFILE PICTURE, BY THE WAY 😍😍
*when you think it's super hard and now feel sups untalented*
It's hard when you start! Just keep at it!
ME TOO I'm struggling so much with strumming
btw, chords of the verse are: A Asus4add2 A Amaj7 Dadd2
thanksss
spottedstar1123 how about the chorus
Jelle Verbeek LOL 😂 I thought the same thing
Thank you
I just ordered my ukulele and I am so excited to some day understand what this means!
So if anyone wants to play this on another instrument the chords are:
A major, A Sus 4, A major, A Major 7 -3, D Major add 9.
+Anton Palmborg The A Sus 4 is an A Sus4 Add9, from what I can tell. That is the B she uses for the bassline travelling A, B[!], C#, E, D. Which is also why I think it is pretty important to stress the bass-notes in all the chords.
A, Asus4+9(B), A(C#), Amaj7(E), D+9
+Laetitian Madhatter You're right! :D
BLESS YOU. Piano here I come!
AND NOW IT'S ON THE EP!!! The progress and growth are so real 💕
I CANT STRUM. IM SO BAD AT STRUMMING.
Jess Holley try using a plectrum/pick thingy. I can't strum to save my life but I found it a lot easier using one of them. It does tend to make the sound louder and harsher but it's very useful
Jess Holley saaame ugh
Luna Lovegood of
Jess Holley me too bud
Jess Holley SAME SOMEONE SEND HELP
six years later I'm sat here with my new uke trying to learn old dodie songs because my love for her is eternal
I am now learning this on my signed rainbow uke by you and evan after seeing this performed live last night and crying my eyes out. I love you so much dodes!!
Damn Sitc took everyone's sanity!
ahhh. so lucky!!!!
You should make one of these for adored by him! I just got a ukulele and I really want to learn your music because it's so beautiful
EmmasMusicDays if u really want to learn chords you can go to ukulele-tabs.com Most of her songs are on there
but a lot of the chords for her songs on there are also wrong, like I went on there for this song and it the only chord that she actually plays in the song is the a chord and it had several chords that didn't even sound right, though it is typically quite good for learning songs that aren't originally on the ukulele
Got a uke for Christmas and I'm attempting this three days after...wish me luck! :)
I guess you're probably better than me by now, but for other beginners I reccomend the song riptide.
Anyone have any tips on keeping the rhythm with the strumming whilst singing? As soon as I start singing, I lose the pattern.
The way I do it is slowing down the tempo and singing at a slow pace and then gradually getting faster until I've got the coordination right. Hope that helps you! :)
Memorise either the chords or the lyrics by heart and then add the other one in. The one you memorised will be planted in your brain and you'll be able to do it without even thinking
Gemma Pettersen Play the song without singing for a bit first, until you can play it through pretty well, then add singing. It can take a while.
For me it works by singing lowly while I play. At first you lose the rythm or you slurr the lyrics and it can be frustrating but if you keep insisting your brain will catch up and be able to do both things at the same time
Gemma Pettersen SAME
Chords in order are: A major, B minor, C# minor, E major, D major. They have a slightly different names (except A major) because of the open strings but that's what they are called.
bless your soul
Omg hearing this live back in march was the best thing ever. Can’t wait to see you again
watching this in 2022, its just incredible how far this awesome girl has gone.
Oh my god , I just realised, the absolutely smitten riff is the intro for most of your videos and I'm so mind blown. By the way I love your videos, your voice and beautiful songs and am currently trying to learn to play them on my uke.
it's been 7 years and now finally have an ukulele to learn this song
I bought a uke for many reasons, most of which to learn to play this song
Learning this while I'm sleepy is a bad idea but I'm still trying?? Like I want to learn it so bad but I also need sleep but I can only sleep when I'm able to play the song, at least kinda slow???
AmeliaPanics me too haha
Ten years later, it’s just been my birthday and I got a uke, I am now learning this and hoping it is the first song I play on a ukulele!!
Thank you for uploading this,it's so helpful&lovely the fact you've taken the time to record it for the people that want to learn it
I'm very proud I've had my ukulele just under a month and I can just about play this now 😆😄
Can you do a video on ukulele for beginners?
I've been playing uke for about 3 years now, and I'm really enjoying this!!
i love all the faces dodie makes in the karaoke bit
DODIE I LOVE YOU!!! You're so adorable and talented and I can't even deal 🙈
3:23 is when the karaoke starts!
thanks :3
3:41 is closer I think :)
"If you have a dot"
Ummm... well, you see.... I'm left handed, so all my instruments, bar my electric guitar, are right handed. I just get the strings flipped. So yes, I do have dots.... they're just on the bottom of the neck where they're useless and unhelpful XD
TheWolfAngel I have the same problem 😂 both my guitar and uke are flipped so when I started learning this song I just had to take a white pen and improvise
Yeah, my acoustic and my ukulele are flipped. My guitar because it was my first so it was easier and cheaper, and my uke because have you ever seen a left-handed ukuele?? XD
The only reason my electric is left-handed is because I wanted the cuts in the right place. Very hard to do solos when you can't reach the 25th fret :D
TheWolfAngel I'm left handed and I always play my uke upside down
i feel u 😂
omg i didnt even realise that there were dots on my uke
lol i scrolled down to look at the lyrics and then scrolled back up at 5:58 and went "oH MY"
omg i love your profile pic
I got a ukulele 12 years ago from hawaii, I never played it because it would NEVER stay in tune! Today, I learned that I just needed to screw them in tighter xD So, today was the first time I was ever able o play my uke, and this is the song I learned. Thanks Dodie!
I'm not even kidding, I spend all day yesterday watching it to work out the chords. They were right but I spend so much time on it!!!! Never mind :)
ugh! you make it look so easy! i FINALLY figured it out! you are soo talented!
IM STILL REALLY CONFUSED ABOUT THE CHORUS
Same😭
This is just perfect, the first time I saw you was in toms video, I immediately became obsessed (obviously ;p ) ordered a ukelele saturday and hopefully it will be delivered today, and now you uploaded a how to, Just perfect ^^
Yay this is the first song I have learned on the ukulele and I am so excited
SO EXCITED RIGHT NOW!!!!
Just got a uke for my birthday today, so excited to play this!
you should make more of these they're really helpful!!
please do one for Paint and Adored By Him!!!
Thank you so much!! I love this song and was so excited when i learned it!! Love you!
Oh Dodie, the faces you pull during the instrumental are just SO PURDY haha. Reeeeally want to teach myself the ukulele now!
I'm buying a ukulele soon, and hope for one day to be able to play one of your songs!
love the pictures at the end dodie :3
Omg the dots on my ukulele are different than the dots on your ukulele ah I'm guessing it's because I'm using a soprano
Same here... I've found a way that works though :))
Basically, ignore the dot closest to the body and mess around with the positioning of the last two chords until they sound right?
for future people who have soprano ukes, here's how to play the last 2 chords: the first one should have your middle finger on the fret right above the last fret (aka the 9th fret) and your index finger on the fret right below that (aka the 8th fret). for the last chord, just slide your fingers down 2 frets so your index finger is on the second dot (7th fret) and your index finger is right below it (6th fret)
+spottedstar1123 this was so useful! thank you for commenting :)
Katrina Wall thank youu!
My ukulele arrived today deffinatly going to learn this once I get my head around the chords :D
thank you can't wait to try out the song it's my fav atm! love you
I saw the thumbnail and I thought this was another TH-camr guess not..
Edit: I wasn't into your songs at first... Next you know I am replying Would You Be So Kind on TH-cam and learned it on the ukulele... Now here I am 😋😋😊😊
Thank you for making your songs so easy.
Would you mind remaking this except... slower and more detailed? I understand how to play the first three chords and what the rhythm is but I am butterfly confused on the rhythm of the last two chords, what order the chords are in for the chorus, and the ending... If you're able to that would be greatly appreciated!!! I love you so much, thanks! ❤️
I'm just crying at your faces during the end part oh my :'D
I am so rubbish at muting the strings.. TEACH ME, OH GRAND UKULELE MASTER
Just put your fingers on the strings lightly, don't press them down, just touch them ;)
OHMYGOD IT WORKS. thank you so much! I was pressing them down like crazy... really, thank you! xx
I'm glad I could help :)
cestlefreak
Thank you so much!
Does anyone know how the ending goes
aww this was published on my birthday. i love her music so much!
I asked a ukulele for Christmas! But when my parents cant find iT i could also ask iT for my birthday in march! So i'm totally happy! ❤️❤️❤️
Your smile is the definition of pretty.
Finally something new I can try to learn, thankyou!!
THIS HELPS SO MUCH I'M A NEW UKELELE PLAYER AND I WANT TO PLAY THIS SONG
^-^ THANK YOU! luvs u loads
LMAO I have a hand cramp now ;u; It’s so worth it though! Thanks for making this song!!
THIS IS SO HELPFUL YOU ARE MY FAVORITE, LOVE YOU!!!!!!
when I am done with uke lessons I will immediately be learning this
Dodie, could you do an updated tutorial on how you play it now?
It sounds so different now that it used to here!
Damn, you are talented!
Love this song. So cute! And the pictures at the end.. :)
Is there any chance someone knows how to play it on guitar..? Cause i cant find the chords anywhere :(
Thank gosh I found this! I just mastered One For the Road and I need a new project!
I CANT STRUM WHILE PLAYING DAMMIT but this is beautiful
I can't figure out how to do the chorus
Getting my uke tomorrow woo!
So chuffed that I found this!!
tip for the hard mute part: you can try learning how to chuck ( i think thats what its called ) its like muting but you do it with your right hand. its basically strumming then instantly stoping the chord. theres a bunch of tutorials online for it. it gives pretty much the same sound as muting but its generally easier. Hope this helps.
Yay! im going to spend the next couple of hours learning how to play this!
She's had the same uke for 7 years omg it's the sacred uke
Great stuff! I'm going to try this on my mando and see if it works ;) THANK YOU!!
first song i learned on the uke
uhh can someone please teach me the chords for the chorus... lol... but seriously plssss
hi doddie, I love ur songs, you are so talented+ im just wondering what size your ukulele is or any other ukulele's you have had in the past. xxxx thanks xxxxx
I know this is really late, but if you guys want a tab for Absolutely Smitten, here it is: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/dodie/absolutely_smitten_ukulele_1740628
please do more tutorials I love your songs!!! :)
Can we have a Rain piano tutorial ? Xxx
small dodie i love
thank you :) Please do this for paint or permanent hug! I love those songs so much
I'm trying to learn this song on uke, and when I get to the higher chords, all I can hear is the g string note and it doesn't sound right and I don't like it. Help?
I'm in a great place right now and Ive always wanted to learn this song
does anyone know how to do the chorus cos I'm a bit confused
What brand of tenor uke do you play? You're wonderful! I just stumbled upon you on youtube, and I think you're a wee legend!! :-) keep it up! X
does anybody know what kind of ukulele she uses?
"OoooOOOHHHAOHSOHasdfghjkl" nice lyrics dodie
can someone please tell me what the higher pitched end bit was or where to put my fingers bc I cant see how she does it (just incase it matters I have the smallest ukulele size I can't remember what it's called lol oops)
I already know what the first song I will learn will be when I have my ukulele
when i get my ukulele this is the first song i am learning to play because i love it. I might even post a cover on my channel :)
I don't get this! How do you play the chord further down the fret and then the next one after that? When I play it, it sounds all wonkity.
Lol the faces u make are great! :D
Please do one for Paint or She!
I caNT do this I'm so okay so I get the first part but then when you go from the a shape-one over thing to the regular a shape I get confused rip ill just try to learn another song of yours
What kind of Uke do you have? Mine seems to be a bit smaller than yours. Also, are there other "normal notes" besides G C E and A? My hands are too small for E. XD tysm! I love your music!
i would make a song on garageband and wouldn't know how to play the chords on guitar or ukulele (since they're all difficult) so when i play it live i have to change the progression
