Thank you for this,
I wouldn't have even thought of learning this one.
Boy its hard, i did find an easier one on chordie.com
Doesn't sound as goo though.
Since I read this post this morning, I've been working on the more difficult version and actually it's a really good chord change exercise from Fm to Eb. I like songs like this that have odd chord patterns you don't normally do. Bette Midler's version of Ukulele Lady has great chord changes that really work your brain and fingers....for us beginners. Also, the best version on youtube to watch is the one by Kermit...seriously. He doesn't do all of the verses, but he sings it the best.
"Ukulele Lady" by Kahn and Whiting, performed by Better Midler
Verse 1:
[F]I saw the splendor [C7] of the [F] moonlight
On Hono[Db7]lu[C7]lu [F] Bay
There something tender [C7] in the [F] moonlight
On Hono[Db7]lu[C7]lu [F] Bay
[Dm] And all the beaches are full of peaches
[Am] Who bring their 'ukes' along
[F] And in the glimmer of the moonlight
They love to [G7] sing this [C7] song
Chorus:
If [F] you [Am] like-a [Dm] Ukulele [C7] Lady
[F] Ukulele [Am] Lady like-a you [Dm] [F]
If [Gm] you [C7] like to linger [Gm] where it's [C7] shady
[Gm] Ukulele [C7] Lady linger [F] too
If you [Am] kiss a [Dm] Ukulele [C7] Lady
[F] While you promise [Am] ever to be [Dm] true [F]
And [Gm] she [C7] see an [Gm] other Uk [C7] ulele
[Gm] Lady fool a [C7] round with [F] you
[Bb] Maybe she'll sigh
[F] Maybe she'll cry
[G7] Maybe she'll find somebody else
[C] Bye and [C7] bye
To [F] sing [Am] to [Dm] When it's cool and [C7] shady
[F] Where the tricky [Am] Wicki Wackies [Dm] woo [F]
If [Gm] you [C7] like a [Gm] Ukulele [C7] Lady
[Gm] Ukulele Lady [C7] like a [F] you
Verse 2:
[F] She used to sing [C7] to me by [F] moonlight
On Hono [Db7] lu [C7] lu [F] Bay
Fond mem'rys cling to [C7] me by [F] moonlight
Although I'm [Db7] far [C7] a [F]way
[Dm] Someday I'm going where eyes are glowing
[Am] And lips are made to kiss
[F] To see somebody in the moonlight
And hear the [G7]song I [C7] miss
Chorus
