Eric Idle – Fuck Christmas (Chords)
I know a lot of you will relate to this song more than most of the Christmas songs I’ve posted. And I think a lot of people will feel like this at some point. But if you’re still in the Christmas spirit it’s your last chance to pick up the new Christmas Ukulele 2 ebook at the pre-release price before the it goes up when Wednesday’s post is published.
While we’re fucking things, fuck tinkling pianos. It makes it a pain to work things out for uke. I’ve tried to make the chords a bit jazzy without too much messing around.

d – – – d u d u

Then I just use one down strum each for the Dm-Em11 move and the last two lines of the song.
Twiddly Bits
Here’s the little Jingle Bells intro for uke:
Which sounds like this:
There’s a full version of Jingle Bells here
What’s the ‘more’ offensive F-bomb? Fender?
