Thanks heaps for the chords to Israelites. They’ve turned into my default mess-around sound when I grab the ukulele for a quick strum.

Another Desmond Dekker keeper I suspect would work really well is 007 (Shantytown). But I have no talent when it comes to figuring out chords.

Any help?

byjimini: Count yourself lucky. I had it stuck there for a week.

Mike: I’d completely forgotten about that one. It’s really popular for ads for a song about poverty and slavery.

Paul: You’re welcome.

Thanks for that, Woodshed, works really nicely on the uke.

This is fantastic! I’ve spent about 30 years thinking the Lyrics were,”Get up in the morning,I have my breakfast. Shout it from every Mountain Peak, yeah…Ohhhh ohhh My ears are alight”!

Can’t wait ’til I’m drunk with a Ukulele in my hands ;)

Bloody hell, that’s spot on. That’s what I love about your chords, Woody, it’s getting people to experiment past the 4th and 5th fret.

Now I’ll have this damn song in my head all day. :P
