Gecko Overdrive Acoustic ukulele

Gecko Overdrive Acoustic

• Am

There are two versions that the acoustic works with:

Version 1: This is popularly used, but requires fast strumming technique. Refer to Jamie Willetts version
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_-H880QGJ0)

Version 2: I think this works too, but is much easier to play along. This does have a different vibe to
it, but don't hate till you tried it :)

Standard Tuning, CAPO 2
Chords Used: Am, C, Em, F, G (note these are on Capo 2, original key of the song is Bm)

VERSION 1: (POPULAR)

Verse 1:
Am     C          F      G
Take a moment for yourself
Am   C            F            G
Get close with the lights down low
Am      C               F    G
You and I and no one else
Am      C               F      G
I get the feeling that I wanna explode

Am       C        F
Baby you grab my attention
G        Am       C     F  G
Tension burning, fever high
Am          C      F
Take me to another dimension
G           Am       C   F
Tonight the rules do not apply

Chorus 1: (X2)
Am      C         F       G
I can't stop this feeling baby
    Am               C         F G
Only you can make me come alive
Am         C         F          G
When we're crashing, let's have passion
    Am            C             F  G
Boy, you've got my heart on overdrive

(Note: Same chords for the next verse and chorus)
Verse 2:
This is where I wanna be
Hands up, feel the bass in my heart
Give me faith and I will leave
I take the risk cause you're never too far
Right now I'm drowning in emotion
Caution flies right out the door
Baby you're pushing this devotion
I can only ask for more

Chorus 2: (X2)
When my head is spinning, all hands to the ceiling
I begin to come alive
When we're crashing, let's have passion
Boy, you've got my heart on overdrive

Outro:
Am     C   Am  Em  F
Overdrive, overdrive (X4)

Am                      C
