Beyond The Sea - Bobby Darin - Simple Chords - Ukulele Play Along - Lyrics And Chords On Screen

Written by Charles Trenet (La Mer), English lyrics by Jack Lawrence

This is our version of the classic Bobby Darin song, Beyond the Sea.

The French song, La Mer that Beyond the Sea is patterned after, came out in 1945. Bobby Darin's Beyond the Sea came out in 1959. A Bobby Darin version can be found here;    • Beyond the Sea  

We used our basic strum for this song, a video of that strum can be found here;    • My Basic Strum   . We sub out the instrumental section for the repeat of a verse and a repeat of the bridge. We reduced the text size on the chords and lyrics so we could get more on one screen. With just two counts for most of the chords we felt it would make it easier to follow if we didn't break it up into smaller sections.
