Happy Days Theme Tune
September 7, 2008
I thought this one would be completely straightforward, but it presented a few problems. I’m still not really sure about the ending.
In the chord sheet this one, you’ll notice a few letters in brackets. They’re not chords but single notes. So where it says “(A Ab)” you play just those notes on the G string.
When you have to change quickly from Bb or B to C, it’s easier to use the Bb chord shape moved up two frets rather than the open C chord.
I had to cheat the solo a little bit to get it to fit on the uke. I’ve tabbed it like this:
But I had shift each note in bar 3 up one notch on the major scale as there’s a Bb in the original. If you’re playing on a low-G uke, you could play it like this:
That is nothing short of outstanding!
Was the theme to Happy Days written for the show , or is it a 50s song?
In other news,
I was in your neck of the woods yesterday, bought myself some Bakewell tart Pudding
Great.. now this song can be stuck in my head in a completely different form
zym: I think it was written for the show. *Visits Wikipedia* Hmm, it’s not explicit but it sounds like it was written for it.
I’ve never had a Bakewell Tart or a Bakewell Pudding. It’s something of a badge of honour for me.
brian: Sorry about that ;)
