Bob Dylan 0 When the Ship Comes In (Chords) It’s St Patrick’s Day this Sunday so time of the traditional Pogues chord post. This time I’ve gone with their cover of my favourite early- Dylan song When the Ship Comes In. The two songs are in the same key but they do contain a fair […]

If you’ve been following along, you’ll know I’m a big fan of Paul Hemmings’ Duke Ellington covers. Now you can pick up the Duke On Uke tab book of his arrangements. I stumbled across a Cliff ‘Ukulele Ike’ Edwards track I was unfamiliar with on The Internet Archive with some fantastic ukeing and his trademark […]
Tom Waits – Johnsburg, Illinois (Tab) A song from one of my favourite albums of all time: Swordfishtrombones. And I’ve gone for the grand weeper side of the grim reapers/the grand weepers split in his songs with Johnsburg, Illinois. My favourite aspect of this song is the dichotomy between the beautiful piano playing and Waits’s […]
Choan Galvez – Drama-in-the-box (Tab) Today’s post is a guest post from Choan Galvez taken from his 50 Miniature Studies for Ukulele. Most of the piece is played on a banjo roll style arpeggio involving three fingers. Accentuate the first two notes in every bar to create a sense of ethereal melody. You can even […]
The Monkees – I’m a Believer (Chords) There were two sad loses for the music world last week: Peter Tork of The Monkees and, overlooked soul singer and transgender pioneer, Jackie Shane. Particularly sad for Jackie Shane who had only just come to wider public attention (and my attention) through Numero Group’s recent rerelease of […]

Billie Eilish – bury a friend (Tab) I first stumbled across Billie Eilish with her ukulele song party favor. I enjoyed it enough to stick it on my Ukulele 2017 Spotify playlist but wasn’t entirely blown away. Something must have happened since then because she’s released four outstandingly good songs in a row. The song […]
Joanna Newsom – On a Good Day (Tab) I’ve decided to loosen up on my schedule of what gets posted on what days. Partly because I’m sure no one cares. And partly because I’ve been promising this tab and getting requests for it for a long time and it keeps getting bumped for something more […]
