That was great! I like Queen but haven't heard that one and of course didn't know Brian May played the uke. Thanks for a very well played tune and the info

Great job! This was one of the first things I learned on uke. I am a huge Queen fan, and remember reading ages ago (in '82 or '83) that Brian May had learned uke before he ever played guitar. His dad was a huge George Formby fan, evidently. In fact, on the liner notes of "A Day At The Races", it says this was played on a "genuine George Formby Banjo Ukulele". He also played banjo uke on "Bring Back That Leroy Brown" from "Sheer Heart Attack".

Thanks Dap, your most kind.. I'm glad you like it.. Its a great little ukey tune which is fun to strumm. Thanks Buddy, Keep on strummin
Thanks Chris, I will have to have a listern to Bring Back that Leroy Brown. Its a shame that he didn't do a few more ukulele based songs as he has a talent for it, but i suppose thats the power of the guitar influence instead.. Glad you enjoyed and thanks for taking the time to comment
Your most kind, Glad that you Enjoyed my little version.. Keep on strummin

Great job, Cokecan! It's the happiest sounding depressing song I know.

Great job. Genius song. Now you gotta do all the overdubs making your uke sound like a clarinet, etc.
Brian May is fantastic.

That was wonderful. Do you have the tabs/chords for that song?
