His Notes: Here’s a lovely tune everyone knows and is fairly easy to play. To get the melody the trick is to either add or lose a finger each chord. Just watch my fingers! Here’s the chord progression:
intro
C | G7 | C | G7 |
C | B7 | E7 | A7 |
D7 | G7 | C | G#7 G7 |
C | B7 | E7 | A7 |
Dm | Fm6 | D7 G7 | C |
Enjoy!!
Played on a brand new Ohana SK-38, Ohana’s interpretation of the classic Martin style 2 soprano in solid mahogany.
Beautiful song….

Fun performance followed by a great tutorial….

His performance notes: From 1938, the Irving Berlin song, probably best known for the Leon Redbone version.
Tony and Shay asked me for the chords to this, and rather than type them up and email them, I decided to do a wee tutorial instead. I’m still fiddling with bits of the tune myself, but this is basically how it goes.
Chord shapes are as follows, where 0000=open GCEA, i.e. C = 0003
Gm
0231 (0.10.10.10)
C#Dim7
3434 (6767)(9.10.9.10)
D7
2223 (5655)
Cm
0333 (0786)
A7
0100
Run on A = 2100, 6400, 9700
The C#Dim7 shape turns up in lots of stuff and can represent a few different chords, it’s a great shape to get used to, especially for sliding up the fretboard.
Hope this is of use lads, I hope to play it with ye at the Ukuhooley next week so get practising.

Mike has really been cranking out some extra great tutorials lately….

Mike is still republishing his videos after the take down – now with another channel just for Beatles songs….

In yet another brilliant move, YouTube suspended Ukulele Mike’s MusicTeacher2009 account at the request of the Dumbest Industry on Earth. Simple: learning to make music increases the enjoyment of music and leads to more engaged customers who will buy more of your product.
