Angelo Badalamenti – Twin Peaks Theme (Tab) Finishing off this bonus Patreon week with a request from Taras. A fitting request since this week sees the 30th anniversary of Twin Peaks. Other than some thumb action in bars 27 and 28, I’m using one finger per string picking all the way through. And thanks to […]

Bill Withers – Lean On Me (Tab) It was so sad to hear of the death of Bill Withers last weekend. He always filled with such warmth it’s hard not to love him. For my little tribute I went with Lean On Me. It has such a strong melody that I kept the arrangement very […]
Lizzo – Truth Hurts (Tab) Starting up the Uke Hunt Patreon has really lit a fire under me to do some tabs. So much so, this is an extra week of tabs to ease the backlog a little. Starting with a request from Patron Daniel who wanted a Lizzobanger. This arrangement uses a few elements […]

Vera Lynn – We’ll Meet Again (Tab) I was inspired to do a version of this Ross Parker and Hughie Charles classic after hearing Sophie Madeleine’s ukulele cover being used as the backing for a COVID-19 video that’s been doing the rounds. The arrangement isn’t very taxing but there are a few jazz chords you […]
Today’s post comes from Brazilian ukulele virtuoso João Tostes. He’s one of the top ukulele players in the world in my estimation. So it’s a huge pleasure to have him on. João has a new live album out called Live Ukulele: Here, There & Everywhere which you can find on Spotify, Apple Music and other […]
Dexys Midnight Runners – Come on Eileen (Chords) What a blast this song is. Perfect for a ukulele group (once that’s an option again). Carolina Ukulele Ensemble kill it with their version. There’s a sweet key change between the verse (in the key of C) and chorus (in D). They pivot around a G chord […]

Warren Zevon – Don’t Let Us Get Sick (Tab) Don’t Let Us Get Sick is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It’s incredibly raw and emotionally direct. And given extra poignancy by the fact that Zevon would be diagnosed with cancer two years after writing. I can barely make it through without breaking […]
