few days ago i asked basically the same question and got a great list of songs!!!! These are the first songs everyone could sing and play
Right now my favorites are Ring of fire and Jambalaya. I really would like to sing and play them all, but lets be reallistic- I cant sing that good... And I just reallised that learning to sing is taking way too much time from ukulele time
so I stick with playng, maybe someday...
Yellow submarine
Amazing grace.
"Something" by the Beatles..
Do-Ri-Me
Cash - Ring Of Fire
Cat Stevens - the first cut is the deepest
Jimmy Buffett....Margaritaville. I play these chords....C, G7, C7 & F
Jambalaya - by Hank Williams it's only 2 chords: C -> G
For You Blue - by The Beatles a 12-bar progression, using C, C7, F, F7 and G, G7
My Little Grass Shack.
Five Foot Two
& Eight Days A Week
"This Land Is Your Land"
Way Down Upon the Swannee River
Sloop John B
Island in the Sun by Weezer
ou, ou and Imagine by Beatles is a great song to start with.
Only thing that I dont understand is how can all beginners do Ower the rainbow... it has sooo hard strum, I cant imagine, I could do it anytime soon... i can strum, but as i begin to sing everything falls apart
