Notes

There are 100 songs in this songbook arranged (near as makes no difference) in alphabetical order. Hopefully this will be enough to get you through the worst deluge that the British Summer can throw at you. They range from the very simple (look for anything by Creedence Clearwater Revival) to the downright impossible (“Wuthering Heights” from Kate Bush) with all stops in-between. I’ve tried to be as wide as possible in the choice of musical genres and there is enough well-known material to balance out the less well-known. There are some songs in here that I’m not all that fond of to be honest but there is obviously going to be a personal bias to stuff that I like. What you won’t find is anything by the Beatles. We have a separate book coming out for their songs later, in Autumn 2018.

Each song has a difficulty grading (on the Contents page): ꍌ Relatively simple. Not that many chords (usually fewer than 8). ꍍ Quite a bit trickier with quite a lot of scope for going wrong. Lots of chords.ꍎ Well hard. Will test the best players.

Nearly all of these songsheets were derived from published music, rather than blagging stuff from the internet. Some of the songsheets from the internet are truly hopeless and I would rather source the music properly and take it from there. That said, some songs have modified chords and every songsheet is, in a sense, “ukulele adapted”; none of them are direct copies of the original - and they are not meant to be. The ukulele, with four strings (and hence only four notes per chord) has its limitations and chords such as [G13] , for example, are always going to be approximate on a uke. It’s approximate enough on a guitar! Complicated arrangements and long instrumentals are out too.

All chords are in red in square brackets (e.g. [F7]). Chords are always placed as close as possible to where they are needed but that is not always possible. Any instructions are in curly brackets and also red and in italics (e.g. {quietly}). Musical terminology has, by and large, been avoided. Where there is a specific “second voice” part the second part is in normal brackets.

I’ve also included chords (for GCEA tuned ukes) for each of the ꍌ or ꍍ songs and as many of the ꍎ songs as possible. Sometimes there isn’t space for all the chords. With them, you are on your own. !

I haven’t included YouTube links for the songs. Simply go to YouTube and type the title followed by the artist. It will almost certainly be there. I haven’t found any that aren’t. Alternatively, I’ve created a playlist on my YouTube channel. Just navigate to that and you can access all the songs in the order they’re in the book.

Enjoy!

Across The Great Divide ꍌ (Kate Wolf/Nanci Griffith) Kate Wolf/Nanci Griffith

I've been [D] walkin’ [G] in my [D] sleep Countin' [Bm] troubles 'stead of countin' [G] sheep Where the [D] years went I can't [Bm] say I just [G] turned around [A7] and they've gone a-[D]-way

I've been [D] siftin’ [G] through the [D] layers Of dusty [Bm] books and faded [G] papers They tell a [D] story I used to [Bm] know And it was [G] one that [A7] happened so long [D] ago

It's gone a-[D]-way in [G] yester-[D]-day Now I [Bm] find myself on the mountain-[G] side Where the [D] rivers [G] change di-[D]-rection A-[A7]-cross the Great Di-[D]-vide

Now, I [D] heard the [G] owl a-[D]-callin’ Softly [Bm] as the night was [G] fallin’ With a [D] question and I re-[Bm]-plied But he's [G] gone a-[A7]-cross the border-[D]-line

He’s gone a-[D]-way in [G] yester-[D]-day Now I [Bm] find myself on the mountain-[G] side Where the [D] rivers [G] change di-[D]-rection A-[A7]-cross the Great Di-[D]-vide

The finest [D] hour that [G] I have [D] seen Is the [Bm] one that comes be-[G] tween The edge of [D] night and the break of [Bm] day It's when the [G] darkness [A7] rolls a-[D]-way

It's gone a-[D]-way in [G] yester-[D]-day Now I [Bm] find myself on the mountain-[G] side Where the [D] rivers [G] change di-[D]-rection A-[A7]-cross the Great Di-[D]-vide

It's gone a-[D]-way in [G] yester-[D]-day Now I [Bm] find myself on the mountain-[G] side Where the [D] rivers [G] change di-[D]-rection A-[A7]-cross the Great Di-[D]-vide [D]!

Hear the Salvation [C] Army band [Bb] Down by the riverside, it's bound to be a better ride Than [Am] what you've got planned, Carry your [C] cup in your hand. And look a-[Dm]-round, the leaves are [C] brown now, And the [Bb7] sky is a [A7] hazy shade of [Dm] winter.

Hang on to your [C] hopes, my friend. [Bb] That's an easy thing to say but if your hopes should pass away, [Am] Simply pretend, that you can [C] build them again. Look a-[Dm]-round, the grass is [C7] high, the fields are [Bb7] ripe, It's the [A7] springtime of my [Dm] life.

[Bb] Seasons change with [F] scenery [Fmaj7] Weaving time in a [C7] tapestry, Won't you stop and re-[Dm]!-mem-[A7]!-ber [Dm]! me? [C] At any convenient time. [Bb] Funny how my memory skips while looking over manuscripts Of [Am] unpublished rhyme,Drinking my [C] vodka and lime.

I look a-[Dm] round, the leaves are [C7] brown, And the [Bb7] sky is a [A7] hazy shade of [Dm] winter. Look a-[C]-round, the leaves are [Bb7] brown, There's a [A7] patch of snow on the [Dm] ground, Look a-[C]-round, the leaves are [Bb7] brown,There's a [A7] patch of snow on the [Dm]! ground (Abrupt ending) This is the playalong key.

El Paso ꍌ (Marty Robins) Marty Robins

Intro: [D] [Em] [A7] [D] (3/4 Time)

[D] Out in the West Texas [Em] town of El Paso [A7] I fell in love with a Mexican [D] girl Nightime would find me in [Em] Rosa's cantina [A7] Music would play and Felina would [D] whirl

Blacker than night were the [Em] eyes of Felina [A7] Wicked and evil while casting a [D] spellMy love was deep for this [Em] Mexican maiden [A7] I was in love but in vain I could [D] tell

[G] One night a wild young [C] cowboy came [G] in Wild as the [C] West Texas [D7] wind Dashing and daring a drink he was sharing With wicked Felina the girl that I [G] loved, so in [A7] anger

I [D] challenged his right for the [Em] love of this maiden [A7] Down went his hand for the gun that he [D] woreMy challenge was answered in [Em] less than a heartbeat The [A7] handsome young stranger lay dead on the [D] floor

[G] Out through the back door of [C] Rosa's I [G] ranOut where the [C] horses were [D7] tied I caught a good one it looked like it could runUp on its back and away I did [G] ride, just as [A7] fast

As I [D] could from the West Texas [Em] town of El Paso [A7] Out to the bad-lands of New Mexi-[D]-co Back in El Paso my [Em] life would be worthless [A7] Everything's gone in life nothing is [D] leftIt's been so long since I've [Em] seen the young maiden [A7] My love is stronger than my fear of [D] death

[G] I saddled up and a-[C]-way I did [G] goRiding a-[C]-lone in the [D7] dark Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my [G] heart And at [A7] last here

I [D] am on the hill over-[Em]-looking El Paso[A7] I can see Rosa's cantina [D] below My love is strong and it [Em] pushes me onward [A7] Down off the hill to Felina I [D] go

Off to my right I see [Em] five mounted cowboys [A7] Off to my left ride a dozen or [D] moreShouting and shooting I [Em] can't let them catch me [A7] I have to make it to Rosa's back [D] door

[G] Something is dreadfully [C] wrong for I [G] feel A deep burning [C] pain in my [D7] side Though I am trying to stay in the saddle I'm getting weary unable to [G] ride, but my [A7] love for

[D] I [Em]! spoke not a word in the [Cmaj7]! cart to the [Em]! farm But my heart beat in my [Em] throat. [C]

My [Em] lodging was dry and my [C] master fair and [G] I gave him full [D] measure, But my [Em] envy grew like the [C] corn in the field For [Gmaj7] in his house was my [C] treasure. And I’d [G] watch her carry [D] water or [Em] drive cows from the [C] byre,[D] And the [Em]! heat from the sun made the [Cmaj7]! corn grow [Em]! strong And with it my de-[Em]-sire [C] [Em] [C]

I’d [Em] see her in my [C] dreaming and [G] in my dreams [D] caress.Her [Em] eyes her lips and her [C] dark brown hair The [Gmaj7] curves beneath her [C] dress. When [G] harvest time it [D] came at last so [Em] heavy was the [C] task [D] That the [Em]! women and the men worked [Cmaj7]! side by [Em]! side And I had her near at [Em] last. [C] [Em] [C] [Em] [C]

So [Em] I swung harder [C] with my scythe few [G] words between us [D] passed, And I [Em] cursed my tongue tied [C] youthfulness andI [Gmaj7] hoped that she’d hear my [C] heart.When [G] all was safely [D] gathered in and [Em] we sat down to [C] rest [D] My [Em]! trembling fingers [Cmaj7]! touched her [Em]! arm And she placed them on her [Em] breast.[C]

The Sound Of Silence ꍌ (Simon and Garfunkel) Simon and Garfunkel Intro: [Dm] {2 bars}

[Dm] Hello darkness, my old [C] friend, I've come to talk with you a-[Dm]-gain,Because a [F] vision softly [Bb] creep-[F]-ing,Left its seeds while I was [Bb] sleep-[F]-ing,And the [Bb] vision that was planted in my [F] brain Still remains [Dm] [F] Within the [C] sound of [Dm] silence.

[Dm] In restless dreams I walked a-[C]-loneNarrow streets of cobble-[Dm]-stone,'Neath the halo [F] of a [Bb] street [F] lamp,I turned my collar to the [Bb] cold and [F] damp When my [Bb] eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [F] light That split the [Dm] night [F] And touched the [C] sound of [Dm] silence.

[Dm] And in the naked light I [C] sawTen thousand people, maybe [Dm] more.People talking [F] without [Bb] speak-[F]-ing,People hearing without [Bb] listen-[F]-ing,People [Bb] writing songs that voices never [F] share And no one [Dm] dare [F] Disturb the [C] sound of [Dm] silence.

[Dm] "Fools," said I, "You do not [C] know – Silence like a cancer [Dm] grows. Hear my words that [F] I might [Bb] teach [F] you. Take my arms that I might [Bb] reach [F] you." But my [Bb] words like silent raindrops [F] fell [Dm] And [F] echoed in the [C] wells of [Dm] silence

And the people bowed and [C] prayed To the neon god they [Dm] made. And the sign flashed [F] out its [Bb] warn-[F]-ingIn the words that it was [Bb] form-[F]-ing.And the sign said, the [Bb] words of the prophets Are written on the subway [F] walls And tenement [Dm] halls And [F] whispered in the [C] sounds of [Dm] silence.

Amy MacDonald plays it in C#m but a capo on the 4th fret and played in these chords will let you sing along. There is a really catchy (and relatively easy) riff to play during the Intro and the break. It might be worth a try.

I [D] never thought it would [G] happen with me and the girl from [D] Clapham Out on the windy [Bm] common that night I ain't for-[D]-gotten Where she dealt out the [G] rations with some or other [D] passionsI said ‘you are a [Bm] lady’ ‘Perhaps’ she said ‘I [D] may be’

We moved into a [G] basement with talks of our en-[D]-gagement We stayed in by the [Bm] telly although the room was [D] smelly We spent our time just [G] kissin' The Railway Arms we're [D] missin' But love had got us [Bm] hooked up and all the time it [D] took off

I got a job with [G] Stanley he said ‘I'd come in [D] handy’And he started me on [Bm] Monday so I had a bath on [D] SundayI worked eleven [G] hours and bought the girl some [D] flowers She said she'd seen a [Bm] doctor and nothing now could [D] stop her

[Bm] I worked all through the [F#m] winter the weather brass and [Em] bitterI put away a [A] tenner each week to make her [C] better And when the time was [Gm] ready we had to sell the [Fm] tellyLate evenings by the [Eb] fire and little kicks in-[G]-side her

[C] This morning at four-[F]-fifty I took her rather [C] niftyDown to an incu-[Am]-bator where thirty minutes [C] later She gave birth to a [F] daughter within a year a [C] walker She looked just like her [Am] mother If there could be a-[C]-nother [C] [G]! [D]!

[D] And now she's two years [G] older her mother's with a [D] soldierShe left me with my [Bm] drinkin' became a proper [D] stingin' The devil came and [G] took me from bar to street to [D] bookie No more nights by the [Bm] telly no more nights nappies [D] smelling

Alone here in the [G] kitchen I feel there's somethin' [D] missin' I beg for some for-[Bm]-giveness but beggin's not my [D] business And she won't write a [G] letter although I always [D] tell herAnd so it's my ass-[Bm]-umption I'm really up the [D] junction [D] [D]!
