Firstly you are a wonderful person for tabbing my favourite artist’s discography, I think I love you… haha.
Enough of the sycophancy. I was wondering if you’ve got any kind of advice for strumming on Forks and Knives (la fete) It’s my favourite song and I want to be able to play it well

Many, many thanks for these.
I’ve just started out learning the ukulele due to Beiruts wonderful music, so much thanks for putting me on the right path to playing these songs properly.
I’d type more but my fingers are sore from playing, lol, kudos to you.

wow, this is so great!
the chords on “guyamas sonora” aren’t all correct, though. the Am should be replaced with a C.
thanks!

I think you’re mixing up two things there. The second bit was me taking the piss.

But, Beirut are pretentious. It’s what I think, if it’s cutting my nose off to say it, so be it.

Not really sure, I just picked the accordion up yesterday. 120 buttons is just too many eh? It sounds like a minor chord there instead of G.

I think you’re cutting off your nose to spite your face when you call Beirut a pretentious con by money hungry record producers.

Unless you’re taking this piss there.

It sounds right to me. What do you think the chords are?

Cherbourg doesn’t seem right… I was playing it on my accordion, and it didn’t match up.
