Song Help Request What's That Tune?

Dan Uke · Jun 5, 2011

What is the song that many people use for demo. The chords are C, E7, A, D7, G7, C. Every chord is 2 beats while the A is 4 beats. Sounds very hawaiian.

I wanna know if there are words or there is a longer version. I like the sound of the song. Thanks

Can you post a link to one of the demos in question? Those chords *could* be the Tin Pan Alley tune "Five Foot Two," or they could be Hawaiian turnarounds.

Thanks Janeray...It's Five Foot Two. I thought it was Hawaiian sounding but with the words, definitely 1920ish. I think I gotta learn the Charlston!!

You're welcome

If you learn to play uke AND do the Charleston at the same time - you gotta post a video.

Those are also the chords to "Ain't She Sweet" (or pretty close anyway...)

As well as a lot of other Tin Pan Alley songs, based on the circle of fifths...
