Here is my cover of the 2020 Phoebe Bridger song. The short instrumental includes some chord melodies I worked out. There is a succession of Bb positions going into the 2nd chorus: 3211, 7565, 10-10-10-8. In the end, for the F to G to Bb, I did a couple 10-988, 0-11-10-10, 3211. The song ends on a 4 chord and includes a 5th of the 5th songwriting technique (this link https://youtu.be/ahj17nnoaxE explains the intent). B is the original key; the method shows up in my arrangement as F to G change. That change really stands out nicely with a ukulele. I took the song on zoom tour to Gilroy, Bronco Billy, and Ukulele Rebellion, with more to come. Chart: https://shawnsukulele.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/kyoto-1.pdf.
