Sesame Street (Chords)

Where can I go without my ukulele? In tribute to the classic broken ukulele sketch, here are the chords to the Sesame Street theme tune.

The tune starts off with a bit of blues shuffle which goes like this:

ukulele tab sesame street

All the strums are down strums apart from the next to last one in the second and fourth bars.

I prefer to make it more hardcore and bluesy like this:

intro ukulele tab

For the “…tell me how to get…” part you can just play F7 and G. But I like to double the melody like this:

    Thanks as always Woodshed. Also, pretty fitting timing, Kermit Love just passed away yesterday at age 91. He was the creator of Big Bird and Mr. Snuffleupagus.
