I'm fairly new to UU, so here is my first post.
It's my attempt at The Waifs' "Feeling Sentimental". I know I can't sing at all, but I love The Waifs so much, I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm just starting out, having been a guitarist, but the uke is so much fun, I've kinda abandoned the guitar. Ooops.

Hope you like it :D

Hi Anna,
I LOVE this song and the Waifs do it so beautifully. I haven't been able to find the chords for it anywhere however, care to share?
Cheers

Try this...

Hello Ukewoo

I completely agree - Vikki Thorn has the most beautiful voice. Just wonderful.

I took that video down as the sound quality was terrbile - but I still have the tabs for it. I got them from a web search if I remember.

(Note that Josh Cunningham plays this with a uke tuned to D, so if you're tuned to C you won't be able to play along with the recording.)

I hope this helps...
