Several years ago, Dorothy Muncy used to have a uke site called UkuleleLady, where she sold chord melody arrangements in a variety of styles. I have at least a dozen of her arrangements, and I have always liked them. Some are extremely easy (too easy), others are on the beginner side of intermediate. Some of them (e.g., Kainoa, Honolulu City Lights) seem to be based on Ohta-san's versions of these tunes.
The Ukulelelady site has been down for a while but last year I emailed her and she let me know she moved the contents to Payloadz. She sent me this link:
http://www.ukulele-lessons.net/id17.html
I don't think she is active any more and doesn't seem to support the site, but I just purchased three songs and the purchase worked out fine. You get a zip with a chord melody arrangement and a very crude recording of the song. Its not tab, more like chord charts with the melody notes in red. Hard to explain, but its clear enough how to play the arrangement.
So if you are looking for a chord melody arrangement for any of the songs she offers, you might consider it. Again, I just successfully purchased three, but I wouldn't expect support from her if there's a problem. Many of the arrangements are very nice (some of my favorites are Blue Lei, Cry Me a River, Come Back to Sorrento, Besame Mucho).
