Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra - It’s a Heartache (Chords)

You can hear this track on their MySpace.

I thought I hated this song. What I actually hated was Bonnie Tyler’s voice because I love the version by WIUO, everyone’s favourite ukulele orchestra (well, everyone who matters).

The best part is the intro with one uke playing the melody and one uke providing fingerpicked backing.


It’s A Heartache Intro (Tab)

If you have no friends, you can still fill in your own chord accompaniment if you move the melody around a little. For example, you can play bars five and six like this:

    You could gravel your driveway with Bonnie Tylers voice. :)

    Even though the chords for my favourite Kings of Leon/WIUO track ‘The Bucket’ are already out in the wild, its not a song that works particularly well with just on uke. It would be nice to have the tab for some the other uke parts

    “WIUO, everyone’s favourite ukulele orchestra (well, everyone who matters).”

    AMEN!!! Also, their version of “Weather With You” is sweet-as (to use the kiwi vernacular).
