Grandaddy- A.M. 180
This song was in a few skate videos when I was a teenager and I always loved the opening riff. My version is a bit lower than the original, but you can always move it up a few frets as you see fit.

Our [A] life

[Bm] But when I [E] see you darling
[C#m(4)] It’s like we [F#] both are falling in [Bm] love…again
It’ll [E] be
Just like starting [A] over [A+]
Starting [A] over [A+]
Every [A] day we used to make it love
[A+] Why can’t we be making love nice

[Bm] It’s time to [E] spread our wings and [C#m(4)] fly

Is still [A+] special [F#m/A]
[A7] Let’s take a chance and fly a[D]way
Some[Dm]where
A[A]lone
[A][A+]
repeat vocal ad lib and face
The key was figuring out the opening chords, namely A+ and F#m/A. Once I had that figured out, the rest was easy.
Let me know what you think? I couldn’t find this tabbed out for ukulele anywhere online.
Hope you enjoy!
Sincerely
Nadja Dee

Before I learned how to read tabs, I would track finger movements and then play from memory. This is how I learned to play the Harry Potter theme on my ukulele. Click on this link to watch a video of me playing it: HP Theme
Since then, I’ve learned how to do tabs and stuff so I wanted to share this tab I made with anyone who wants it for the Harry Potter theme. I’m quite new at this, so sorry if it is confusing.

Im hoping the pdf will work this time, but if not:

e : – - – - – - – - – - – - – -Â | – - – - – - – - – - – -|

g : – - – 0- – - – - – - – - – |Â – - – 0 – - – - -0 – -|

I hope that makes some sense. Try to imagine them all as quavers…except the last one, which is a crochet. Then that repeats for a fair while in the song.

The standout track for me from this Saturday’s UkeTube was Vertigo Smyth’s Comfort Me. Â I’m not the savviest at this chord charting business but Comfort Me seemed pretty simple. Â Hopefully I didn’t completely botch it. Â Oh, and any help on the lyrics would be appreciated, I basically made these up… UPDATE 7/11: Thanks all, they’re right now.

Coldplay, ‘Yellow’ ukulele tab
The old indie walk-on-the-beach becomes a little more interesting when you listen out for the subtleties. I’ve not transcribed the chords verbatim, but used the hints of sus4s that were there, and a particularly lovely Fadd9. Still a nice easy version. And there’s a surprise at the end I’d entirely forgotten!
download mp3 from amazon
PS. Tab is in C, recording is in B, so tune down a semitone if you’re doing kara-uke.
PPS. Realised after sharing this with the delightful SCUPA that the G6 in the tab is nothing of the sort – it’s a B♭6, in fact, if such things matter to you. Don’t ask me how I mistook the two. It’s a reet puzzler, since I don’t have a tin ear.

This is a cover of Lakes of Canada by The Innocence Mission. Video here: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x23g4s_502-sufjan-stevens-musicnow-the-lak_creation
I learned it a while ago on the banjo but ukulele being my true love, I thought I’d it figure out and share.
Go watch the video to see strumming pattern. It’s pretty easy once you get the rhythm down( pick 3, down, up, up, down, up, pick 3, down, pick 2, down is a simple way to tag along). You could just strum along, as well. Lots of hammer-on’s but just do them where you feel they need to be. It’s a fun song to play.
Scour the internetz for lyrics. I don’t want to post them here. Beautiful song by the way.
Capo second fret. Basic chords are (relative to capo) C (0003), G (0232), D (2225-bar index on 2, pinky on the 5), Am (5450).
Transition to the chorus is C, G, D…
Chorus goes C, G, Em (in the video he goes high on the neck so I like to do it at 9777 (capo relative) but a regular 0432 will suffice), Am (as shaped above).
Comments and constructed critizism is welcomed!
