Seeing the request for "Simple and Clean" reminded me of my favorite piano arrangement of "First Love"

I didn't know that Herb Ohta Jr. had covered it, but I'm particularly fond of this ukulele cover which I'd like to embellish on if anyone had the tabs. The melody integrates well with the chord shapes, but it would definitely give me a better idea and make the learning process much faster with tabs. Anyone?
 
Hey

this is a really nice song to play. When i first started playing the ukulele and i was searching through youtube, Dominator had a video up on you tube with him playing this song! It was beautiful! I pm Dom back then and asked for it because i was playing this at my cousins funeral.
He was nice enough to send it over.
He's the person to ask.

So cheers
 
I think its about time I actually try to learn one of Dom's tabs. I always shyed away from them because they seemed so difficult, but there are just so many good songs that I should level up and learn to play. This would be one of them.
 
I PM'd Dominator and he said that he never tabbed the song. I emailed the guy on YouTube who performed it and he said he would send it over.
Grappler do you still have them that you can share?
 
im interested too if anyone is able to get the tabs. i had the intro down on the second video for awhile but never got around to finishing the rest of the song
 
i would love to learn this song....it's an awesome arrangement. has anybody got a hold of the tab?
 
I just realized I never updated you all with the tab.
I emailed the guy from this ukulele version and he sent me a rough skeleton of the tab:
