As a newcomer to "ALL-THINGS-UKE", I have been blown away by Bruddah Iz's 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' youtube clips.
But to the basic chords given us mere mortals, I have a problem with the progression in the 'Some day I'll wish upon a star bit'.........the G following 'Where trouble melts like lemon drops' into 'High above the chimney tops' doesn't sound right, but I can't find any better chord in trawling through the internet. What I'm looking for can be demonstrated by plucking F# on the E string (second fret) followed by open A at the point we are told to play a G chord. Then the Am will also need to be altered. Is this laboured or does it make sense. Can anyone suggest a more 'fulfilling' alternative?
