This one is incredibly late for the Ukulele Tribute to The Cure. I’m amazed no one did a cover of this as it works very well on the uke.
For those who thought my version of Don’t Fear the Reaper needed more cowbell.
UPDATE: Grant Lee Phillips used a uke in his cover of the tune (Thanks to Anna for the heads up).
I like it.. i’ll be trying to figure out the chords
cbf: No, I had to Google b3ta to check what it was (I have been there before).
brian: Good luck with it. There’s nothing to complicated in there.
Probably this has been posted before but I was strolling on ebay and found a 25,000 US$ Martin 5K.
I don’t know about ukes but I guess it has to be the best ukulele ever made because… 25000$???
I was just thinking about learning this song. Or maybe Love Cats…
love cats without bass is like sugar free cola, MORALLY WRONG!
but you did make hot in herre work, so maybe i’m wrong.
very nice riff
Granted, it’s not a solely ukulele cover but you should check out the version Grant Lee Phillips did of this song on his “Nineteeneighties” album…definitely some uke in there. Great work and awesome riff! I always look forward to more great stuff here!
newbie: Thanks for the link. If I remember correctly, they had a few guitars up for sale at extortionate prices as well. I’d say the real value of it is about half the asking price.
ukulelezo: I look forward to hearing whichever one you choose.
cbf: She could pull it off.
Isaac: It certainly is. This is easily my favourite Cure song.
Anna: Thanks for that. I’ll add a link to the post.
my god woodshed you are amazing, thank you for putting this up. i listened to you playing ‘this charming man’ which is one of my favourite songs, but sadly i am no where near good enough to play it myself. the music you have put up just made my day
Imogen: Thanks very much for the kind words. I appreciate it.
I think the chords are A, B, C up a fret then, C up two frets then back down through all of them.
As far as I can tell the chords are A, Bm, C#m and D, with the D fretted 5567. B and C sound wrong to me, the minor versions seem to work.
Helpfully, these are all B or Bm-form chords so you don’t need to do much more than slide your fretting hand up and down the neck.
First tab I have ever played! Briliant!
Draco: Congratulations!
