Ukulele Blues: A Song to Learn About the Ukulele by Ms. Christina

Ms. Christina’s ukulele complains about being misunderstood and explains a bit about itself in her original “Ukulele Blues” song.

Chords:
A7, D7, E7 (with toggling between maj A/A7 and maj D/D7 in chorus)

Lyrics:
1. [A7] I know I’m small
I bring you joy
But just because I’m fun to play
Does not make me a toy
—–
Chorus:
Got the [D7] ukulele blues
Got the [A7] ukulele blues
I am [E7] so misunderstood
Nobody [D7] knows me like they should
Got the [A7] ukulele blues
—–
2. [A7] “Oo-kuh-lay-lay” or “Yoo-keh-lay-lee”
You can say it either way
As long as you play me
—–
Chorus
—–
3. [A7] I don’t dispute
That I am cute
But I am not a small guitar
I’m actually a lute
—–
Chorus
—–
4. [A7] I’m made of wood
I got four strings
I got this little case
But I am not a violin
—–
Chorus
—–
5. [A7] I know I’ve got
A skinny neck
But I can noodle any tune
Cause I’ve got twenty frets
—–
Chorus
—–
6. [A7] Don’t need no stage
Don’t need no choir
Play me at the beach at night
Arou-ou-ound the fire.
—–
Chorus
—–
7. [A7] I’m not lyin’
I’m Hawaiian
Strummin on these nylon strings
Is so-o satisfyin’
—–
Final Chorus:
Got the ukulele blues x2
I am so misunderstood
Nobody knows me like they should
—–
[E7] Listen to my song
And [D7] you won’t get me wrong
—–
[E7] That’s my testament
Now you [D7] know this instrument
—–
No more [A7] ukulele blues!
