Paolo Nutini – High Hopes (Chords)
Polo Nutini’s ukulele may have met an unfortunate end but this ukulele ditty (from the upcoming Sunny Side Up) turned out nice.
And it’s a dead simple song – perfect for beginners. It’s just baby’s first uke chords: C, F and G.
Suggested Strumming
Old faithful:
d – d u – u d u
If you can’t wait until Monday to hear the studio version (also featuring the uke) you can stream the new album on MySpace (unless you’re in the US). Check out Pencil Full of Lead for more uke action.
Requested by Naomi (and I’m pretty sure Alice will be interested too)
Very catchy tune. Thanks for scratching this out. Is this picture actually of the singer? He sounds Jamaican. Perhaps he is – but the name is Italian? Jeff
Jeff: Yes, that’s him. He’s actually Scottish (of Italian descent I believe).
I was very interested.. I just opened it in my e-mail my first thought was “Oh what a hottie”
Yeah he’s Scottish, but his family (like four generations ago) are from Italy.. And I shouldn’t know that..
Wasn’t the album out today or something?
Alice: I think it’s out on Monday.
Paolo’s family is originally from Barga, a hill town in Northwestern Tuscany. They and he still visit. He played a show in Barga in 2007 and was there for a photo shoot this past spring. Search the wonderful barganews.com site for photos and stories, if interested.
Dannyboy: Thanks for the info.
Hey, it’s nice to know something about something, for once.
