Hello,

I was wondering whether anyone would be able to help me! I'm dying to learn 'Someone to Watch over me' on ukulele, especially when I heard a fellow UU member play it so beautifully!! I would appreciate any help possible in finding the tab for this beautiful song!!!

Thank you :D
 
Do you want the tab or the chords? Chords are very easy to find. I don't know of anyone who has published the tab for it. And it is a great song.
 
It is a beautiful song. I made my own arrangement of it, but I don't know how to write tabs. What I did was download the basic lead sheet from Wikifonia.org. Transposed it to a key more uke friendly and went from there. You might give that a try. The only complicated thing about the song is that it has 3 parts: the intro, verses, chorus.
 
I'm eagerly searching for the tab!! I'm hoping that somehow in the wonderful forum, there must be someone who has the tab.....I hope!
 
I have a version arranged for guitar I can write out. Give me a day or two to find it. I've been looking for a uke arrangement for my vintage song sheet collection, but never found one. If anyone has one, I'd really appreciate a scan of it. Not sure if one was ever published, but I'm always looking...
