Ukulele Chords

Ukulele Fretboard

Circle of Fifths

12 Bar Blues For Uke
The basic structure of the blues uses 3 chords, in 12 bars, then repeats.
The 3 chords are those based on the 1st, 4th & 5th notes in the scale of the key you
are playing in.
So, in the key of C, they are [C], [F], & [G]
In practice, the 1st chord is usually played as a standard major chord and as a
seventh chord. The 4th and 5th chords are usually just played as seventh chords.
This gives us four chords:
These chords in various keys:

We’ll stick with the key of A. The pattern the chords are played in, goes like this:
3 bars of [A]
1 bar of [A7]
2 bars of [D7]
2 bars of [A]
1 bar of [E7]
1 bar of [D7]
1 bar of [A]
1 bar of [E7] (the turnaround)
12 bars in total, then repeat

E7 / / / D7 / / / A / / / E7 / / /
More advanced progression
The more advanced version of this progression uses some new chords:
A6, A7, D6 and D7
Here’s how to turn A into A6 and A7:

A
Add finger 3 (on the “O” in the diagram above) to get A6, then add finger 4 (on the square in the
diagram above) to get A7.

Here’s how to turn D into D6 or D7
D
Add finger 4 (on the “O” in the diagram above) to get D6, and then slide into fret 3 (on the square
in the diagram above) to get D7.

Blues Scale in A
The diagram below shows the notes of the blues scale in A, in the first position:
You can play any of these notes, in any order, to create a blues solo in the key of A:
All of the open strings

1st and 2nd strings at the 3rd fret
3rd string at the 2nd and 3rd fret (or, you can bend the string at the 2nd fret to get Eb)
4th string at the 4th fret
To extend your soloing, you can play the scale higher up the neck. Here (thanks to UkuTabs.com)
are the notes of the blues scale in A all the way up the neck of the Uke:
Blues Turnarounds in A
A turnaround is a small riff that replaces all or part of the 11th and/or 12th bar (the last A bar and
E7 bar) of the 12 bar blues.

An excellent example of 12 bar blues from the master:
I Believe I'll Dust My Broom

Robert Johnson
Intro: [E7] / / / [D7] / / / [A] / / / [E7] / / /

I'm goin' [A] get up in the morning, I believe I'll dust my broom [A7]
I'm goin' [D7] get up in the morning, I believe I'll [A] dust my broom
Girl friend, the [E7] man you been lovin', girl [D7] friend, can get my [A] room [E7]
I'm gonna [A] write a letter, telephone every town I know [A7]
I'm gonna [D7] write a letter, telephone every town I [A] know
If I can't [E7] find her in West Helena, she [D7] must be in East Munroe I [A] know [E7]
I don't [A] want no woman, wants every down town man she meets [A7]
I don't [D7] want no woman, wants every down town man she [A] meets
She's a [E7] no good dony, they shouldn't [D7] 'llow her on the [A] streets [E7]
I [A] believe, I believe I'll go back home [A7]
I [D7] believe, I believe I'll go back [A] home
You can mis-[E7]-treat me here, babe, but you [D7] can't when I go [A] home [E7]
Instrumental (verse chords):

[A] / / / [A] / / / [A] / / / [A7] / / /
[D7] / / / [D7] / / / [A] / / / [A] / / /
[E7] / / / [D7] / / / [A] / / / [E7] / / /
And I'm [A] gettin' up in the morning, I believe I'll dust my broom [A7]

Fingerpicking The Blues in A
The first thing to learn in fingerpicking, is a pattern to play, instead of just strumming the chords.
We will use just 3 fingers of the right hand for picking –

Thumb (T), Index (I) and Middle (M)
The thumb (T) plays the G and C strings

The index (I) finger plays the E string
The middle (M) finger plays the A string
You can repeat the simple pattern below instead of strumming any chord. Here it is for the chord
of A:
A --------0--------------|--------0--------------|
E ------------------0----|------------------0----|
C -------------1---------|-------------1---------|
G ---2-------------------|---2-------------------|
T M T I T M T I
Practice this until you can play it smoothly and quickly, while changing chords with your left hand.
Try changing the rhythm and tempo of the picking.
Try mixing it up, with some picking and some strumming.
Once you can play the 12 bar blues in A all the way through, picking with the occasional strum,
then you can start to mix it up:
We learnt the blues scale in A earlier. You can replace any of the chord notes you pick, with the
blues scale notes (including all the open strings), from time to time.
Or, you can play a solo, as part of your picking.

All Through The City
Wilko Johnson
[A] Stand and watch the towers burning at the break of day
Steadily slowing down, been on my feet since yesterday
Gotta get a move on tryin´ to find a man I know
Money in my pocket, looking for a place to go
[E7] I've been searching all through the city

[D7] See you in the morning down by the Jetty [A]
[A] Streets are full of signs, arrows pointing everywhere

Parks are full of people trying to get a breath of air
Listen to the weatherman praying for a drop of rain
Look into the sky, the sky is full of aeroplanes

[A] Walking in the main drag pass the afternoon away

The sun is going down, the streets are still as bright as day
See the shiny cars driving round detecting crime
Hear the sirens wail, the cops are only killing time


[D7] See you in the morning down by the Jetty
[D7] See you in the morning down by the Jetty
All Tomorrows Parties
Lou Reed
Intro: [D]
And what [D] costume shall the [C] poor [G] girl [D] wear?
To [G] all tomorrow’s [A] parties
A [D] hand me down dress, from [C] who [G] knows [D] where
To [G] all tomorrow’s [A] parties
And [G] where shall she go, and [A] what shall she do
When [G] midnight comes [A] along
She’ll [D] turn once more to [C] Sun-[G]-day’s [D] clown
And [G] cry [A] behind the [D] door

Always Look On The Bright Side of Life
Neil Innes
First verse, single strum on each chord
Some [Am] things in life are [D7] bad, they can [G] really make you [Em] mad
Other [Am] things just make you [D7] swear and [G] curse [Em]
When you're [Am] chewing on life's [D7] gristle
Don't [G] grumble give a [Em] whistle
And [A7] this'll help things turn out for the [D7] best
And [G] always [Em] look on the [Am] bright [D7] side of [G] life [Em] [Am] [D7]
[G] Always [Em] look on the [Am] bright [D7] side of [G] life [Em] [Am] [D7]
If [Am] life seems jolly [D7] rotten, there's [G] something you've [Em] forgotten
And [Am] that's to laugh and [D7] smile and dance and [G] sing [Em]
When you're [Am] feeling in the [D7] dumps, [G] don't be silly [Em] chumps
Just [A7] purse your lips and whistle, that's the [D7] thing
Come on, [G] Always [Em] look on the [Am] bright [D7] side of [G] life [Em] [Am] [D7]
For [Am] life is quite [D7] absurd and [G] death's the final [Em] word
You must [Am] always face the [D7] curtain with a [G] bow [Em]
For-[Am]-get about your [D7] sin, give the [G] audience a [Em] grin
En-[A7]-joy it - it's your last chance any-[D7]-how.
So [G] always [Em] look on the [Am] bright [D7] side of [G] death [Em] [Am] [D7]
[G] Just [Em] before you [Am] draw your [D7] terminal [G] breath [Em] [Am] [D7]
[Am] Life's a piece of [D7] shit [G] when you look at [Em] it
[Am] Life's a laugh and [D7] death's a joke it's [G] true [Em]
You'll [Am] see it's all a [D7] show
Keep 'em [G] laughing as you [Em] go
Just [A7] remember that the last laugh is on [D7] you
(Come on guys, cheer up)

Oh my [C] name is [Csus4] Captain [C] Kidd as I [G] sailed
My [F] name is Captain Kidd and God's [C] laws I did for-[G]-bid
And most [C] wickedly I [F] did as I [C] sailed [Csus4] [C]
My [C] father [Csus4] taught me [C] well to shun the gates of [G] hell
But a-[C]-gainst him I [Csus4] re-[C]-belled as I [G] sailed
He shoved a [C] Bible [Csus4] in my [C] hand but I left it in the [G] sand
And I [C] pulled away [Csus4] from [C] land as I [G] sailed
Chorus
I [C] murdered [Csus4] William [C] Moore and I left him in his [G] gore
Twenty [C] leagues [Csus4] away [C] from shore as I [G] sailed,

All his [C] precious [Csus4] blood did [C] spill as I [G] sailed,
Chorus
Instrumental using the same chords as the Chorus
I was [C] sick and [Csus4] nigh to [C] death and I vowed at every [G] breath,
Oh to [C] walk in [Csus4] wisdom's [C] path as I [G] sailed
But my [C] repen-[Csus4]-tance [C] lasted not my vows I soon for-[G]-got
Oh [C] damnation [Csus4] is my [C] lot as I [G] sailed
Chorus
Dead slow
To the [C] exe-[Csus4]-cution [C] dock lay my head upon the [G] block
[C] Laws [Csus4] no more I'll [C] mock as I [G] sail
So take [C] warning [Csus4] here and [C] heed to shun bad com-[G]-pany
Or you'll [C] wind up [Csus4] just like [C] me as I [G] sailed.

Folsom Prison Blues
Johnny Cash
[G] I hear the train a comin´, it´s [G] rolling round the bend
And I ain´t seen the sunshine since [G7] I don´t know when
I´m [C] stuck in Folsom prison, and [C] time keeps draggin´ [G] on
But that [D7] train keeps a rollin´ on down to San [G] Anton
When [G] I was just a baby my [G] mama told me. Son
Always [G] be a good boy, don´t [G7] ever play with guns
But I [C] shot a man in Reno just to watch him [G] die
When I [D7] hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and [G] cry
….. [E7] (into key change)
I [A] bet there´s rich folks eating in a [A] fancy dining car
They´re [A] probably drinkin´ coffee and [A7] smoking big cigars
Well I [D] know I had it coming, [D] I know I can´t be [A]free
But those [E7] people keep a movin, and that´s what tortures [A] me
Well [A] if they´d free me from this prison, if that [A] railroad train was mine
I [A] bet I´d moved it all a little [A7] further down the line
[D] Far from Folsom prison, that's [D] where I want to [A] stay
And I´d [E7] let that lonesome whistle blow my blues [A] away
[A] I hear the train a comin´, it´s [A] rolling round the bend
And I ain´t seen the sunshine since [A7] I don´t know when
I´m [D] stuck in Folsom prison, and [D] time keeps draggin´ [A] on
But that [E7] train keeps a rollin´ on down to San [A] Anton
(slowly) But that [E7] train keeps a rollin´ on down to San [A] Anton

Ghost Riders in the Sky

When [Am] all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw,

They've [Am] got to ride forever more on the range up in the sky,

Good Year For The Roses
Jerry Chestnut
I can [C] hardly bear the sight of lipstick

On the [F] cigarettes there in the [C] ashtray
[C] Lyin' cold the way you left 'em,
But at [F] least your lips caressed them
While you [C] packed
Or the [F] lip-print on a half-filled cup of coffee
That you poured and didn't [C] drink
But at [G] least you thought you wanted it,
That's so much more than I can say for [C] me [Csus4] [C]
[C] What a good year for the [F] roses

[G] Many blooms still linger [C] there
The lawn could stand another [Dm] mowin'
[G] Funny I don't even [C] care [Csus4] [C]
As you turn to walk [F] away
[G] As the door behind you [F] closes [C]
The only thing I have to [Dm] say
It's [G7] been a good year for the [C] roses [F] [C] [G7] [C]
After [C] three full years of marriage,

It's the [F] first time that you haven't made the [C] bed
[C] I guess the reason we're not talkin',
There's so [F] little left to say we haven't [C] said
While a [F] million thoughts go racin' through my mind
I find I haven't said a [C] word
From the [G] bedroom the familiar sound
Of our baby's cryin' goes un-[C]-heard [Csus4] [C]
[C] What a good year for the [F] roses

[G] Many blooms still linger [C] there
The lawn could stand another [Dm] mowin'
[G] Funny I don't even [C] care [Csus4] [C]
As you turn to walk [F] away
[G] As the door behind you [F] closes [C]
The only thing I have to [Dm] say
It's [G7] been a good year for the [C] roses [F] [C] [G7] [C]

Great Balls Of Fire
O Blackwell, J Hammer
[A] You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain

[D7] Too much love drives a man insane
[E7] You broke my will
[D] But what a thrill
[A] Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire
[A] I laughed at love 'cause I thought it was funny
[D7] You came along and moved me honey
[E7] I've changed my mind
[D] Your love is fine
[A] Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire
[D] Kiss me baby, [A] mmm feels good
[D] Hold me baby
[E7] I want to love you like a lover should
You’re fine, so kind
I want to tell the world that your mine, mine, mine, mine
[A] I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumbs
[D7] I'm real nervous, but it sure is fun
[E7] Come on baby
[D] Drive my crazy
[A] Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire!!
Instrumental first verse
[D] Kiss me baby, [A] mmm feels good

[A] I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumbs
[D7] I'm real nervous, but it sure is fun

Hallelujah
Leonard Cohen
[C] [Am] [C] [Am]
Well I've [C] heard there was a [Am] secret chord,

That [C] David played and it [Am] pleased the Lord,
But [F] you don't really [G] care for music, [C] do ya? [G]
It [C] goes like this, the [F] 4th, the [G] 5th,
The [Am] minor fall and the [F] major lift,
The [G] baffled king com-[E7]-posing halle-[Am]-lujah,
Chorus:
Halle-[F]-lujah, halle-[Am]-lujah,
Halle-[F]-lujah, halle-[C]-lu--- ---[G]-jah [C]
[C] [Am] [C] [Am]
Your [C] faith was strong but you [Am] needed proof,
You [C] saw her bathing [Am] on the roof,
Her [F] beauty and the [G] moonlight over-[C]-threw ya, [G]
She [C] tied you to her [F] kitchen [G] chair,
She [Am] broke your throne and she [F] cut your hair,
And [G] from your lips she [E7] drew the halle-[Am]-lujah,
Chorus
Well [C] baby I've been [Am] here before,

I [C] know this room and I've [Am] walked this floor,
I [F] used to [G] live alone before I [C] knew ya. [G]
And I've [C] seen your flag on the [F] marble [G] arch,
And [Am] love is not a [F] victory march,
It's a [G] cold and it's a [E7] broken halle-[Am]-lujah,
Chorus
Continued….
Hallelujah (continued)
There [C] was a time when you [Am] let me know,

What's [C] really going [Am] on below,
But [F] now you [G] never show it to me [C] do ya? [G]
Well re-[C]-member when I moved [F] in [G] you,
And the [Am] holy dove was [F] moving too,
And [G] every breath we [E7] drew was halle-[Am]-lujah,
Chorus:
halle-[F]-lujah, halle-[C]-lu--- ---[G]-jah [C]
[C] [Am] [C] [Am]
May [C] be there is a [Am] God above,

But [C] all I ever [Am] learned from love,
Was [F] how to shoot at [G] someone who out-[C]-drew ya. [G]
And it's [C] not a cry you can [F] hear at [G] night,
It's not [Am] somebody who's [F] seen the light,
It's a [G] cold and it's a [E7] broken halle-[Am]-lujah,
Halle-[F]-lujah, hallelu-[C] --- [G]-jah [C]
Halle-[F]-lujah, hallelu-[C] --- [G]-jah [C]

[Em] But once you think you're [D] in you're out
[G] 'Cause you don't mean a [A] single thing without
That [D] your poor Grandad had to sweat so you could [G] buy [F] [C] [D]
[G] Sing a song of [F] six-pence for your [C] sake

And take a [D] bottle full of [G] rye [F] [C] [D]
[G] Four and twenty [F] blackbirds in a [C] cake
And [D] bake them all in a [G] pie [F] [C] [D]
[Em] They told me you missed [D] school today

[G] So what I suggest you just [A] throw them all away
That your [D] poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy [G] you [F] [C] [D]
[Em] They told me you missed [D] school today

He'll Have To Go
Jim Reeves
Put your [F] sweet lips a little [Bb] closer to the [F] phone
Let's pretend that we're [Dm] together, all [C7] alone
I'll tell the [F] man to turn the [F7] jukebox way down [Bb] low
And you can [F] tell your friend there [C7] with you
He'll have to [F] go
[F] Whisper to me, tell me [Bb] do you love me [F] true

Or is he holding [Dm] you the way I [C7] do?
Though love is [F] blind, make up your [F7] mind
I've got to [Bb] know
Should I [F] hang up, or will you [C7] tell him
He'll have to [F] go?
You can't [Bb] say the words I want to hear

While you're [F] with another [F7] man,
[F7] If you [Bb] want me, answer yes or no
Darling, [F] I will under-[C7]-stand
Put your [F] sweet lips a little [Bb] closer to the [F] phone
Let's pretend that we're [Dm] together, all [C7] alone
I'll tell the [F] man to turn the [F7] jukebox way down [Bb] low
And you can [F] tell your friend there [C7] with you
He'll have to [F] go

The [E7] Jean Genie lives on his [D7] back
The [E7] Jean Genie loves chimney [D7] stacks
He's [E7] outrageous, he screams and he [D7] bawls
Jean [E7] Genie let yourself go!
Sits like a man but he smiles like a reptile
She love him, she love him but just for a short while
She'll scratch in the sand, won’t let go his hand
He says he's a beautician and sells you nutrition
And keeps all your dead hair for making up underwear
Poor little greenie, wooh hoo
Jean [E7] Genie let yourself go, oh
He's so simple minded he can't drive his module
He bites on the neon and sleeps in the capsule
Loves to be loved
Loves to be loved

Johnny B Goode
Chuck Berry
Deep [A] down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans

Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There [D] stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where [A] lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
Who [E7] never ever learned to read or [D] write so well, but he
Could [A] play the Ukulele like a ringin’ a bell. Go…o…
Chorus:
[A] Go! Go, Johnny go go
[A] Go! Go Johnny go go
[D] Go! Go Johnny go go
[A] Go! Go Johnny go go
[E7] Go! Johnny [D] B.
[A] Goode… [E7]
He used to [A] put his Ukulele in a gunny sack
And go sit beneath a tree by the railroad track.
[D] Engineers could see him sitting in the shade
[A] Strummin’ to the rhythm that the drivers made
[E7] People passing by… they would [D] stop and say
Oh [A] my but that little country boy can play. Go…o…
Chorus
His [A] mother told him “someday you will be a man”
And you will be the leader of a big ole’ band
[D] Many, many people come from miles around
To [A] hear your Ukulele till the sun go down
[E7] Maybe someday your name will be [D] in lights
Sayin’ [A] ‘Johnny B. Goode tonight’. Go…o…

[F] You got something else to [C] do
[C] She move around like a wave of summer breeze,
Go, driver, go, go, catch her balmy breeze.

Seems like [G7] every time I catch you betcha
[F] You’re up to something [C] new

Riot In Cell Block No. 9
Leiber, Stoller
[A] On July second, 1953,
I was serving time for armed robbery
'Bout four in the morning
I was sleepin' in my cell
I heard a whistle blow
[A7] I heard somebody yell
There's a [D7] riot goin' on
There's a [A] riot goin' on
There's a [E7] riot goin' on
Up in [D7] cell block number [A] nine [E7]
[A] The trouble started in cell block number four
It spread like fire across the prison floor
I said "Come on boys, get ready to run -
Here comes the warden with a [A7] tommy gun"
[A] The warden said
"Come out with your hands up in the air
If you don't stop this riot
You're all gonna get the chair"
Scarface Jones said, "It's too late to quit
So pass the dynamite, because the [A7] fuse is lit"
[A] The ninety-second hour
The tear gas got our men
Crawled back in our cells
But [A7] every now and then...

The [C] ship is in the [F] harbour, [C] love

I [C] know it will be a [F] long long [C] time
Before I see [G7] you [C] again

The Light At The End Of The Tunnel (Is The Light Of An Oncoming Train)
Nigel Blackwell – Half Man Half Biscuit

She [D] stayed with me until
She [G] moved to Notting Hill
She [A] said it was the place she had to [D] be
Where the [D] cocaine is Fair Trade
And [G] frequently displayed
Is the [A] Buena Vista Social club [D] CD
I thought she'd [D] be back in 3 weeks
And we'd go [G] wandering in the Peaks
[A] Sojourn in my Uncle Joe's ash-[D]-ram
For when you're [D] in Matlock Bath
You don't [G] need Sylvia Plath
[D] Not while we've got Mrs Gibson's [A] jam
Alas I'm [G] brooding alone by the [D] runnel
While [A] she's in Capri with her [D] swain
And the [G] light at the end of the [D] tunnel
Is the [A] light of an oncoming [D] train
[D] Well we both grew up in Eyam
And [G] strange as it may seem
[A] Neither of us thought we'd ever [D] leave
But the [D] beak in Leek is weak
And [G] she's moved in, so to speak
With [D] featureless TV producer [A] Steve
[G] And now it's all Eva Cassidy
And [D] aphids in Picardy
And [G] so I can only ascer-[A]-tain
That the [G] light at the end of the [D] tunnel
[D] No frills, [G] handy for the hills
[A] That’s the way you spell New Mills
Alas I'm [G] brooding alone by the [D] runnel

While [A] she's in Capri with her [D] swain
And the [G] light at the end of the [D] tunnel

You will be my rest [A] and peace child
I moved up to take a [C] place…… near you
[F] So tired, it's the sky that makes you [Dm] feel tired
It's a trick to make you [A] see wide
It can all but break your [C] heart….. in pieces
[Bb] staying back in your [Am] memory

Are the [Eb] movies in the [F] past
[Gm] How you moved is [Dm] all it takes
To [C] sing a song of [Bb] when I loved

You and I will rise up [A] all the way
All because of what you [C] are

I've [G] been a wild rover for many a [C] year

I [G] spent all me [C] money on [D7] whiskey and [G] beer

Strange as it now seems
Of zombie voodoo gris gris
And the Witch Queen of New Orleans [C]
She [Gm] lived in a world of magic,
Possessed by the devils skew
From a shack near the swamplands made of mud-pile brick
Marie stirred her [C7] witches [Gm] brew
[Gm] Dime or a nickel, anyone could buy
Voodoo of any kind
She had potions and lotions, herbs and tanna leaves
Guaranteed to blow your mind [C]
Earl-[Gm]-y one mornin' into mucky swamp dew,
Vanished Marie with hate in her eyes
Though she'll never return, all the Cajuns knew,
A Witch Queen [C7] never [Gm] dies

And then he [C] kissed me
[C] Each time I saw him I [G] couldn't wait to see him [C] again
I [C] wanted to let him know [G] that he was more than a [C] friend
I [F] didn't know just [C] what to do

[C] And he said that he [G] loved me too

I [C] knew that he was mine so I [G] gave him all the love that I [C] had
And [C] one day he took me home to [G] meet his mom and his [C] dad
[F] Then he asked me to [C] be his bride

[C] I felt so happy I [G] almost cried
[F] Then he asked me to [C] be his bride
[F] And always be right [C] by his side.

Ukulele Anthem
Amanda Palmer
or
Sid [C] Vicious played a four-string Fender [C7] bass guitar and couldn't sing
And [Fsus2] everybody hated him except [G7sus4] the ones who [G7] loved him
A [C] ukulele has four strings, but [C7] Sid did not play ukulele
[Fsus2] He did smack and probably killed his girl-[G7sus4]-friend Nancy [G7] Spungen
If [C] only Sid had had a [C7] ukulele, maybe he would have been happy
[Fsus2] Maybe he would not have [G7sus4] suffered such a [G7] sad end
He [C] maybe would have not done all that [C7] heroin instead
He maybe [Fsus2] would've sat around just singing [G7sus4] nice songs to his [G7] girlfriend
So [C] play your favourite cover song, [C7] especially if the words are wrong
'Cause [Fsus2] even if your grades are bad, it [G7sus4] doesn't mean you're [G7] failing
[C] Do your homework with a fork and [C7] eat your fruit loops in the dark
And [Fsus2] bring your etch-a-sketch to work and [G7sus4] play your uku-[G7]-lele
[Fsus2] Ukulele small and fierceful, [G7] ukulele brave and peaceful
[C] You can play the ukulele [Fsus2] too, it is painfully simple
[Fsus2] Play your ukulele badly, [G7] play your ukulele loudly
[Bb6] Ukulele banish evil, ukulele save the people
Ukulele gleaming golden [N/C] from the top of every steeple
[C] Lizzie Borden took an axe, and [C7] gave her mother forty whacks
Then [Fsus2] gave her father forty-one, and [G7sus4] left a tragic [G7] puzzle
If [C] only they had given her an [C7] instrument, those puritans
Had [Fsus2] lost the plot completely, see what [G7sus4] happens when you [G7] muzzle
[C] A person's creativity and [C7] do not let them sing and scream
And [Fsus2] nowadays it's worse 'cause kids have [G7sus4] automatic [G7] handguns
It [C] takes about an hour to teach some-[C7]-one to play the ukulele
[Fsus2] About the same to teach someone to [G7sus4] build a standard [G7] pipe bomb
So [C] play your favourite cover song, [C7] especially if the words are wrong
'Cause [Fsus2] even if your grades are bad, it [G7sus4] doesn't mean you're [G7] failing
[C] Do your homework with a fork and [C7] eat your fruit loops in the dark
And [Fsus2] bring your flask of jack to work and [G7sus4] play your uku-[G7]-lele
[Fsus2] Ukulele, thing of wonder, [G7] ukulele, wand of thunder
[C] You can play the ukulele, [Fsus2] too in London and down under
[Fsus2] Play Joan Jett, and play Jacques Brel, and [G7] Eminem and Neutral Milk Ho-
[Bb6] Tell the children, crush the hatred, play your ukulele naked
If anybody tries to steal your ukulele, [N/C] let them take it

[C] Imagine there's no music, im-[C7]-agine there are no songs

Imagine [Fsus2] that John Lennon wasn't shot in [G7sus4] front of his [G7] apartment
Now [C] imagine if John Lennon had com-[C7]-posed "Imagine" for the
Uku-[Fsus2]-lele. Maybe people would have [G7sus4] truly got the [G7] message
You [C] may think my approach is simple-[C7]-minded and naïve
Like if you [Fsus2] want to change the world then why not [G7sus4] quit and feed the [G7] hungry
But [C] people for millennia have [C7] needed music to survive
And [Fsus2] that is why I promised John that [G7sus4] I will not feel [G7] guilty
So [C] play your favourite Beatles song and [C7] make the subway fall in love
They're [Fsus2] only $19.95, that [G7sus4] isn't lots of [G7] money
[C] Play until the sun comes up and [C7] play until your fingers suffer
[Fsus2] Play LCD Soundsystem songs [G7sus4] on your uku-[G7]-lele
[C] Quit the bitching on your blog and [C7] stop pretending art is hard
Just [Fsus2] limit yourself to three chords and [G7sus4] do not practice [G7] daily
You'll [C] minimize some stranger's sadness [C7] with a piece of wood and plastic
[Fsus2] Holy fuck, it's so fantastic, [G7sus4] playing uku-[G7]-lele
[C] Eat your homework with a fork and [C7] do your fruit loops in the dark
[Fsus2] Bring your etch-a-sketch to work your flask of Jack, your vibrator
Your fear of heights, your Nikon lens
Your [C] mom and dad, your disco stick, your [C7] soundtrack to "Karate Kid"
Your [Fsus2] ginsu knives, your rosary, your [G7sus4] new Rebecca [G7] Black CD
Your [C] favorite room, your bowie knife, your [C7] stuffed giraffe, your new glass eye
Your [Fsus2] sousaphone, your breakfast tea, your [G7sus4] Nick Drake tapes, your [G7] giving tree
Your [C] ice cream truck, your missing wife, your [C7] will to live, your urge to cry
[Fsus2] Remember we're all gonna die
So [G7sus4] play, your uku-[C]-lele

I’ll [G] play his song [E7] upon my uku-[Am]-lele

It [C] doesn’t matter [Am] who you are

Your Cheatin’ Heart
Hank Williams
[G7] Your cheatin' [C] heart [Cmaj7]

[C7] Will make you [F] weep
You'll cry and [G7] cry
And try to [C] sleep [G7]
But sleep won't [C] come [Cmaj7]
[C7] The whole night [F] through
Your cheatin’ [G7] heart will tell on [C] you [C7]
When tears come [F] down

Like falling [C] rain
You'll toss [D7] around
And call my [G7] name
You'll walk the [C] floor [Cmaj7]
[C7] The way I [F] do
Your cheatin' [G7] heart will tell on [C] you [F] [C]
[G7] Your cheatin' [C] heart [Cmaj7]

[C7] Will pine some [F] day
And rue the [G7] love
You threw [C] away [G7]
The time will [C] come [Cmaj7]
[C7] When you'll be [F] blue
Your cheatin' [G7] heart will tell on [C] you [C7]
When tears come [F] down

Like falling [C] rain
You'll toss [D7] around
And call my [G7] name
You'll walk the [C] floor [Cmaj7]
[C7] The way I [F] do
Your cheatin' [G7] heart will tell on [C] you [F] [C] [G7] [C]

Your Song
Elton John Bernie Taupin
Intro: [C] [Fmaj7] [G] [F]

[C] It's a little bit [Fmaj7] funny [G] this feeling in-[Em]-side
[Am] I'm not one of [E+] those who can [C] easily [Am6] hide
[C] I don't have much [G] money but [E7] boy if I [Am] did
[C] I'd buy a big [Dm7] house where [F] we both could [G] live
[C] If I was a [Fmaj7] sculptor huh [G] but then again [Em] no
Or a [Am] man who makes [E+] potions in a [C] travelling [Am6] show
[C] I know it's not [G] much but it's the [E7] best I can [Am] do
[C] My gift is my [Dm7] song and [F] this one's for [C] you
[G] And you can tell [Am] everybody [Dm] this is your [F] song
[G] It may be [Am] quite simple but [Dm] now that it's [F] done
[Am] I hope you don't mind [E+] I hope you don't mind
[C] That I put down in [Am6] words
How [C] wonderful [Dm] life is while [F] you're in the [G] world
[C] [Fmaj7] [G] [F]
[C] I sat on the [Fmaj7] roof [G] and kicked off the [Em] moss
Well a [Am] few of the [E+] verses well they've [C] got me quite [Am6] cross
[C] But the sun's been [G] quite kind [E7] while I wrote this [Am] song
[C] It's for people like [Dm7] you [F] that keep it turned [G] on
[C] So excuse me for-[Fmaj7]-getting [G] but these things [Em] I do
You [Am] see I've for-[E+]-gotten if they're [C] green or they're [Am6] blue
[C] Anyway the [G] thing is [E7] what I really [Am] mean
[C] Yours are the [Dm7] sweetest eyes [F] I've ever seen [C]
[G] And you can tell [Am] everybody [Dm] this is your [F] song
[G] It may be [Am] quite simple but [Dm] now that it's [F] done
How [C] wonderful [Dm] life is while [F] you're in the [G] world
[C] [Fmaj7] [G] [F]
How [C] wonderful [Dm] life is while [F] you're in the [C] world
