Chords: Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush
Who doesn't love a bit of Kate Bush? She's an incredible singer and songwriter, and that kind of genius is magnetic as all get out. She's not an easy artist to cover, because there's simply no way to do her justice. But, you know me, trying anyway because I'd rather make mistakes than not make anything at all.
Come get yourself some simple guitar/ukulele chords for Running Up That Hill.
You're right...
It's not a perfect match for the record: the chords are simplified and somewhat transposed, and I trimmed some of the repeated outro choruses, but the places where the intervals between verses seem uneven...you'll have to speak to Kate about those.
It's an arrangement that feels like the song, and works well enough to play live.
(Thank you to the lovely gent who asked me to play it again – because he missed the majority of the performance – at a recent open mic night. The fact you wanted to hear me sing it really made my day.)
Here's my Imperfection Project cover:
Edit: Welcome to everyone discovering this song because of Stranger Things! The strumming pattern for this version is mostly DDU in the verses, and DDUUDU in the chorus.
And here are the chords - for the Fmaj7 throughout I'm playing it as 5500.

I'm sure you'll do a much better job of it than I did. Enjoy playing!
Love always,

P.S. I didn't write the song, and I own no rights to it. The original is much better, and may form parts of your sexuality if you haven't heard it yet. Go buy the album if you don't have it. Cloudbusting, The Big Sky and the titular tune, Hounds of Love, are all fantastic songs.
