Loudon Wainwright III – The Ukulele Song Chords

Got a ukulele, now I’m not afraidee
Cat in case I get a bout of blues
In the event I get ’em, there’s no way that I’ll let ’em
Bring me down, no way, I’ll just refuse, believe me

Cos a ukulele is like a little baby
You cradle it in your arms and you sing
A lullaby or ditty, when you’re feeling shitty
it will cheer you up it’s just the thing.

Life could be bright and breezy
When it should be light and easy
There’s nothing hard or heavy about a uke
I don’t play bull fiddle
No mystery, no riddle
Shlepping that thing, you look like a kook, gotta’ believe me!

Four strings made of nylon always put a smile on
Anybody’s face who’s feeling blue yeah
When your mind starts slumming start a little strumming
On your uke and your gonna feel brand new you gotta’ believe me!

Even though it’s raining quit all your complaining
your roof’s not leaking, nothings getting in
Yeah this axe is a hatchet, there’s magic you can catch it
on your uke you can’t lose you just win

Life could be bright and breezy
when it should be light and easy
there’s nothing hard or heavy about a uke
I don’t play the tuba
tubas do it to ya’
just the thought of tubas makes me puke

Kind sirs and gentle ladies, grab your ukuleles
I suspect by now you know my song
And the next time that I do it get down and get into it
I trust you all will sing and strum a long you gotta’ believe me

I Got a ukulele, now I’m not afraidee
Cat in case I get a bout of blues
In the event I get ’em, there’s no way I’ll let ’em
(1 strum and stop) Bring me down, no way, I’ll just refuse.

Be lee eeve me.
