Sophie Madeleine – The Knitting Song (Tabs and Chords)

There seems to be a natural synergy between the ukulele and knitting. Both much maligned, both newly hip and both excellent, low-key ways for people to be creative. There are certainly a lot of people who do both. And I’m very much in favour of it. Perhaps I should take up knitting. Anyone offering lessons?

Suggested Strumming

For the Em and D chords:

d – d u – u d u
– u d u – u d –

For the shorter chords after that:

d – d u – u d –

And the same patterns for the middle.

Twiddly Bits

The solo uses the same chords as the middle. It’s a tricky progression to solo over and she’s gone for the smart (and easy) way of dealing with F# chord: play notes from the chord itself.
