I’m just starting to learn ukulele and I really want to learn “Ukulele Me” by Stephin Merritt on his Showtunes album.  Does anyone know what chords are used?  I have a terrible ear for these things and can’t figure it out.  Thanks!

I’ve just posted on my website a Tablature of  “Tiger Rag” inspired by the Recording of the Roy Smeck Version in the album “Roy Smeck And His Magic Uke”.
The tablature in pdf format.
And the video on YouTube.
Enjoy !
David.
PS: Buy Roy Smeck Plays Hawaiian Guitar, Banjo, Ukulele and Guitar.

EDIT: I’ve uploaded a brief .mp3 with a bit of singing (very low in the mix and with reverb ladled over the top!) as a guide…cymbal rush
Thom Yorke – Cymbal Rush
From the album “The Eraser”
Here’s a bash at the main riff from this tune (think it’s played on a rhodes organ or something in the [...]

Corinne Bailey Rae’s cover of Munich by The Editors
The intro riff an octave up:

But playing it like this makes for a smoother move into the chords:

Verse: Eb – Gm
Chorus: Ab – Gm
Requested by Mcnilly

EDIT: here’s a recording of some bits from this song that I did on my trusty 4 track (please excuse the tape hiss and warbly singing). So you can sort of get an idea of what I’m trying… excerpt from islands.mp3
Great album, for some reason I thought this one might be good to tackle on [...]

Title: Funky Tonight
Album: Grand National
Transcribed by: ukto (reeves@johnreeves.com.au)
this is a basic tab of Funky Tonight for Ukelele, tuned GCEA
It an ‘adaption’ of what JB plays for uke so it may not be ‘excatly’
as you hear it on the CD but it’s as close as I could get it for ukulele at the [...]

Here’s an arrangement of the steel guitar standard played in Hawaiian slack key style. Just tune your 1st string down a full step (A-G); sounds best with a low G string. There’s a cheezy midi file to hear how it sounds. Have fun!

Just the main riff. Worked out what I think is a uke friendly way of playing it. All though I didn’t put them in I use pull offs when I play a few sections. Fun little riff to play. Not in the same key as song.
