intro: B, 1st fret dim, 4th fret dim, 3rd fret dim<br />
<br />
B / B6 / B7 / B6 / D#7<br />
I love my ukulele, it's with me all the time.<br />
<br />
C#9 / F#7#5 / C#9 / F#7#5 / C#9 / F#7#5 / B / B6<br />
It's better than a pretty girl, cause it doesn't nag or whine.<br />
<br />
B / B6 / B7 / B6 / D#7<br />
I love my ukulele, it's my favorite little axe.<br />
<br />
E7 / Fdim / B / D#dim<br />
It don't talk back unless I ask,<br />
<br />
C#7 / D9 / C#9 / B<br />
and if I want it quiet, I just put it in its sack.<br />
<br />
(same chording as verse)<br />
<br />
I love my ukulele, I have one of every kind.<br />
Baritone and tenor for those candlelit dinners, and concert when I'm playin' Hawai'ian.<br />
For ragtime applications, my soprano does just fine.<br />
I like to 'yuk it up' with some corny stuff and fade into a better time.<br />
<br />
C#9 / F#7#5 / F#7 / B / B6 / D#dim<br />
Bridge: Life played some lousy tricks on me:<br />
<br />
C#9 / F#7#5 / F#7<br />
My wife left me, took my dog (or house)<br />
B / B6 / B / D#dim<br />
and now all I have is this ukulele<br />
C#7 / D9 / C#9<br />
To get me through the night...well, the holes are a little tight...<br />
<br />
B / D#dim<br />
To get the sound out right--what were you thinking?<br />
<br />
(C#7, D9, C#9 to B and diminished vamp)<br />
<br />
(Clean: To get me through the night...it's a lonely, lonely plight...<br />
But I will do just fine with my four-stringed wonders..)<br />
<br />
Doo dooo<br />
<br />
(chorus chords)<br />
I take my ukulele with me for everything I do.<br />
If there's a lull in conversation, I pull it out and play a tune.<br />
If ever you should see me alone in my street car.<br />
A traffic jam is just another chance to strum a few familiar bars.<br />
<br />
More to come someday...
