Mele Kalikimaka, Merry Christmas, Chanukah Sameach, Feliz Natal and Happy Holidays! (If that’s what you’re into.) That’s it from me for another year. I’ll be back at the end of January 2025 for the year of the D7 chord. If you can’t stand to be without a steady stream of uke, I’ll be posting on […]

Nat King Cole – The Christmas Song (Tabs) Just sneaking this one in before the deadline. The song was originally written by Robert Wells and Mel Tormé and first recorded by Nat King Cole. It’s one of the chillest songs in existence to listen to. But not so chill to play. There are many big […]
Band Aid – Do They Know It’s Christmas? (Tab) Band Aid’s Do They Know It’s Christmas? is one of the most lyrically disastrous songs ever written. But since this is an instrumental, we can ignore that. The chords simple; just F, G and C with a few D minors and A minors thrown in. The […]

The Clash – I Fought the Law (Tab) I Fought the Law was originally recorded by The Crickets after the death of Buddy Holly. The Bobby Fuller Four had a big hit with it later in the 60s. Then The Clash recorded the definitive version. And it’s The Clash version I based this arrangement on. […]

Billie Eilish – What Was I Made For? (Tab) Here’s my take on Billie Eilish’s contribution to the Barbie soundtrack: What Was I Made For? Intro: I went with a few spicy chords for the intro to emphasise the melancholy mood of the song. If you prefer, you can just pick through the standard C […]
The Animals – House of the Rising Sun (Tab) House of the Rising Sun has been performed by every folkie including Bob Dylan, Leadbelly and Mumford & Sons. But the most famous is by The Animals. And it’s that version I’ve based the arrangement on. Intro: You could pluck this section out of the song […]
