I love this classic tune, I learnt it a few weeks ago and I've enjoyed smashing it out at open mics. Thanks for listening, and let me know what you think.

Very nice, but I beg anyone making videos from a phone, always turn it sideways when recording so when playing it back, it fills the entire screen.

Thanks Holly, I've been playing the ukulele for about 6 years, but I've been playing the guitar since I was 10 so that made it easier to learn the uke.

Cheers AndieZ!

Sorry Rakelele, but I don't write my arrangements down any more, I find that it is easier to learn pieces by heart in this way.
If you want to learn it, I would recommend finding the chords, transposing them 2 semitones down to the key of C and figuring out the tune by ear, using my video to help you. Thank you for your comment and I do encourage you to learn it, it's a really fun piece to play!

No problem, I can figure it out from your video, which makes for a great tutorial as well...
