I Like Ukuleles
Joe Brown
Oh, [G] I like ukuleles, they [A7] always make you smile.
What [D7] ever trouble comes your way,
it’ll [G] be O [Ddim] Kay in a [Am] little while. [D7]
Just [G] plick a little tune now, it’s [A7] easy if you try.
Just a [D7] couple of chords and a flick of the wrist
[Gdim] and you [D7] start to wonder [G] why
You’ve never [C] tried this before. It’ll [G] open a door,
To [A7] something that you thought you couldn’t [D7] do [A7] | [D7]
And [C] take it from [G] me, that [C] little jumping [G] flea.
Will [A7] cheer you up and chase away your [D7] blues [A7] | [D7]
So give me a [G] uke - I want a [F#7] u-ku-[G] le-le .
[E7] It speaks to me saying [Am] please, please [E7] play [Am] me.
[D7] All through the day, and [G] all on my own.
[E7] I’ll be [A7] strumming away ‘til the [D7] cows [A7] come [D7] home
So [G] play your ukulele. Don’t [A7] keep it to yourself.
Your [D7] moans and groans will fade away.
[G] They should [Ddim] stick’em on the [Am] national [D7] health.
I [G] love my ukulele. It’s al [A7] ways been a friend.
I’ll [D7] hold it tight and keep it close, right to the very [G] end.
