Up Up And Away by Kid Cudi
Up Up And Away
Tuning: standard (eadgbe)
Intro guitar riff:
e|--2---2-----0---0-----2---2-----3---2---0---|
B|--3---3-----3---3-----3---3-----3---3---3---|
G|-(2)-(2)---(2)-(2)---(2)-(2)---(2)-(2)-(2)--|
D|-(0)-(0)---(0)-(0)---(0)-(0)---(0)-(0)-(0)--|
A|--------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------|
e|--2---2---2----0----2---2-----2---2---0-----|
B|--3---3---3----3----3---3-----3---3---3-----|
G|-(2)-(2)-(2)--(2)--(2)-(2)---(2)-(2)-(2)----|
D|-(0)-(0)-(0)--(0)--(0)-(0)---(0)-(0)-(0)----|
A|--------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------|
Yes, it's essentially an alternation between a D (xx0232), Dsus2 (xx0230), and Dsus4
chord, except with just the top two strings being played. But you can play the full chord
you want; it'll still sound the same. This riff is looped throughout most of the song.
Chords for the whole song: A, Bm, D, G
A: x02220
Bm: x24432
D: xx0232
G: 320033
Or if you wanna get funky, you can keep the 2nd fret on the E string down while playing
the chords. The Bm and D chord have this note (F#) naturally but the A and G chord
So if you added it to them, it'd be something like this:
A13: x02222
Bm: x24432
D: xx0232
Gmaj7: 320032
The Gmaj7 is tricky because it requires either really flexible fingers, or more fingers
you have. So what I do is I don't play the A string. I mute it with my middle finger
playing the E string, and then use my freed up index finger to play the 2nd fret on the
string. So you're supposed to end up with a free pinky, and you can do whatever your heart
with it.
I'm not one to get all technical and type up the rhythm, although the rhythm for the
is pretty funky since a lot of the chords are played on the upbeat. So here's the verse &
lyrics with the chords. The rhythm is similar to "Viva La Vida" by Coldplay.
--
A
Now when the sun come up,
Bm
I'll be there to say what up in the morning
D
Brush my teeth,
G
Find that clip I've been lookin for since last night,
A
I feel so caught up, in a bud
Bm
I flow some round in my bedroom
D G
Turn around, see myself in the mirror
I guess I'm cool and
A
No sappy thoughts in my head
Bm
I'm feeling like I'm Peter Pan
D
minus the tights in the first,
G
happy to see how far I've come to
A Bm
the same place, think again, my dreams and imagination
D G
perfectly at peace so I move along a bit higher
A
I'll be up up and away
Bm
Up up and away
D G
Cause they gon' judge me anyway so whatever
A
I'll be up up and away
Bm
Up up and away
D G
Cause in the end, they'll judge me anyway so whatever
--
And it's the same progression throughout the whole song. A, Bm, D, G
The guitar riff in the background of the chorus goes like this:
e|-----------------------------------------|
B|--5-7-7-7--5-7-8-7~----5-7-7-7--5-7-7----|
G|--------------------------------------4~-|
D|-----------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------|
I know you can play the same notes with the E string and B string, but I like the fuller
of playing it higher on the neck.
=======================
There's also a little piano riff in the middle of the song. Here it is for the guitar:
e|----------0------2-2-2-------------------|
B|-2-2--2-3---3-3----------------3-0-0-0~--|
G|------------------------2-2-2------------|
D|-----------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------|
And the bass part, which is just the root notes of the guitar chords:
G|-------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------|
A|--0--0--0--0-2--2--2-2--2---5--5--5--5-----------------|
E|---------------------------------------3--3--3-3--3----|
In the song, the bass actually sounds like it plays a lower D, which means that the bass
either tuned to Drop-D or is just in Standard D. So if you want to play it EXACTLY like
song, I'd probably just tune the bottom E down to a D and play the open D instead of the
on the 5th fret of the A string. Keep in mind that you'd also have to play the G up
frets from 3 to 5 since you tuned the string down.

Repeat this On the 6th time, don't play the last "10"
part 6 times Just go straight into this
Now when the sun come up
I'll be there to say what up in the morning
Brush my teeth find that clip I been lookin' for since last night
I feel so caught up, in a bud
I floats around in my bedroom
Turn around see myself in the mirror I guess I'm cool
And those happy thoughts in my head
I'm feeling like I'm Peter Pan
Minus the tights and the fairy's
Happy to see how far I've come to the same place
It began my dreams imaginations
Perfectly at peace so I move along a bit higher
I'll be up up and away, up up and away
'Cause they gon' judge me anyway, so whatever
I'll be up up and away, up up and away
'Cause in the end they'll judge me any so whatever
I learn, I see the dreams are made so I'm cooler now
I could take care of my mom and my little niece Suri
So sing along lil' mama you ain't gotta worry 'bout no drama no
I provide for friends and fam' and fans Cleveland city we grinding man
Stay at flow the kids hope
I never let a motherfucka break me dog
Who gives a fuck if a nigga don't like your steeds
Tell 'em to buzz off your N-U-T's we don't care what people say
Dudes who critique your clothes on most day
I ain't gotta wait for no one If I wanna fly I could fly for freedom, hey!
I'll be up up and away, up up and away
'Cause they gon' judge me anyway so whatever
I'll be up up and away, up up and away
'Cause in the end they'll judge me anyway, so whatever
Wake up, wake up, wake, wake up, wake
Wake, wake up, wake up, wake, wake up, wake (Yeah)
Wake, wake up, wake up, wake, wake up, wake (We'll be rolling one up)
Wake, wake up, wake up, wake, wake up, wake (We'll be rolling one up)
Wake, wake up, wake up, wake, wake up, wake (We'll be rolling one up)
Wake, wake up, wake up, wake, wake up, wake (We'll be rolling one up)
Wake, wake up, wake up, wake, wake up, wake (I'll be rolling one up)

'Cause they gon' judge me anyway, so whatever
I'll be up up and away, up up and away
'Cause in the end they'll judge me any, so whatever
I'll be up up and away, up up and away
'Cause they gon' judge me anyway, so whatever
I'll be up up and away, up up and away
'Cause in the end they'll judge me any, so whatever
Whatever, so whatever
Whatever, so whatever
The end is never the end
A new challenge awaits
A test no man could be prepared for
A new hell he must conquer and destroy
A new level of growth he must confront himself
The machine in the ghost within
This is the journey of the man on the moon
