Ode to dirt- finally got my wife to help me on a video

We figured this out tonight, and I owe the fact that my wife has a had a really rough week to her presence here- we were just having way too much fun for her to go hide. Once again, helped by all the creatures in our house, including the naked cat, who does not really help.
Anyway- enjoy. One take wonder, 3 chords...pure bliss

That was fun! I saw her smile a bunch!

Yeah! She really looked like she was having fun! I wish I could get my wife to even learn one chord...

That's great, I watched it last night, I wish I could get my husband to play, but hey I got my daughter to play with me and I will have to take it!
Great job and thanks for sharing! Big Welcome to your wife to the world of you tube and UU!

Thanks folks- I figure this whole Uke thing was her idea- time to get her to throw down a bit- she had a heck of a lot of fun doing it

Love it! Love it! Love it! Care to share the tab??

Surprisingly easy 3 chord wonder Susie- here is how we played it:

RED CLAY HALO
Intro: (G)
Oh the (G)girls all dance with the boys from the city
And they don't care to dance with (D)me
Now it (G)ain't my fault that the fields are muddy
And the red clay (D)stains my (G)feet
And it's (G)under my nails and it's under my collar
And it shows on my Sunday (D)clothes
I (G)do my best with soap and water
But the damned old (D)dirt won't (G)go
But (C)when I pass through the (G)pearly gates
Will my (D)gown be gold in(G)stead
Or just a (C)red clay robe with (G)red clay wings
And a (D)red clay halo for my (G)head
Now it's (G)mud in the spring and it's dust in the summer
When it blows in a crimson (D)tide
Until the (G)trees and the leaves and the cows are the color
Of the dirt on the (D)mountain(G)side
But (C)when I pass through the (G)pearly gates
Will my (D)gown be gold in(G)stead
Or just a (C)red clay robe with (G)red clay wings
And a (D)red clay halo for my (G)head
Now (G)Jordan's banks, they're red and muddy
And the rolling water is (D)wide
But I (G)got no boat so I'll be good and muddy
When I get to the (D)other (G)side
But (C)when I pass through the (G)pearly gates
Will my (D)gown be gold in(G)stead
Or just a (C)red clay robe with (G)red clay wings
And a (D)red clay halo for my (G)head
I'll take a (C)red clay robe with (G)red clay wings
And a (D)red clay halo for my (G)head

and thanks for watching
