Under Honolulu Moon –Travis Picking Tablature
This is a song I co-wrote with Larry W. Jones back in 2002 (he wrote the lyrics, and I wrote the music). I had never been to Hawaii before, but I went in 2011 and again in 2013, so I put together some photos from both trips to accompany the song. I didn’t make a…

Tiptoe Through the Tulips — Strum-Along
Tiptoe Through the Tulips in the key of F with ukulele chords included in the video. The chords aren’t difficult, but a chord change in almost every measure of the song makes it a little difficult. If you’re learning it, you might want to take a short section at a time after listening to it…

American Pie — Strum-Along
Play-along ukulele version of Don McLean’s classic song from the early 1970s. I’ve included all of the chords and lyrics to every verse from the original recording. There are no difficult chords but they do change quickly. You might want to slow down the video until you get the hang of it. “American Pie” is…

A Place in the Sun — Strum-Along
I played it in the key of F here, which works great on the uke. There are very easy chord changes that stay pretty much the same throughout the song. “A Place in the Sun” is a song by Stevie Wonder, released in 1966 as a single and later included on his album Down to…

Love Me Tender — Strum-Along
“Love Me Tender” is one of Elvis Presley’s most iconic songs, released in 1956. The song’s melody is based on the Civil War-era tune Aura Lee, written in 1861 by George R. Poulton with lyrics by W. W. Fosdick. Elvis’ version was given new lyrics by Ken Darby, though it was officially credited to Presley…

Somebody’s Praying — Strum-Along
One of my favorite gospel country songs, written by Ricky Skaggs. My uke arrangement is in the key of F. It’s a fairly easy strum-along with 6 chords. I generally don’t do any set strumming patterns, especially with a slow song like this. Just any strumming in 4/4 time will work.

Free and Easy — Strum-Along
This is one of my favorite Christian songs. It was written by Wendell Burton and James Sundquist in the 1970s but to me it still sounds new. The chords are easy but throughout most of the song there are 2 chord changes in each measure so it might be a little difficult to keep up…

It Came Upon a Midnight Clear — Strum-Along
“It Came Upon the Midnight Clear” is a Christmas carol written in 1849 by Edmund Sears, a Unitarian minister. The song focuses on the theme of peace on Earth, as proclaimed by angels on the night of Christ’s birth. Unlike many traditional carols that emphasize the nativity scene, this hymn reflects on the world’s struggles…
