Oh, [C] I like ukuleles, they [D7] always make you smile.

What [G7] ever trouble comes your way,

it’ll [C] be O [Gdim] Kay in a [Dm] little while. [G7]

 

Just [C] flick a little tune now, it’s [D7] easy if you try.

Just a [G7] couple of chords and a flick of the wrist,

[Cdim] and you [G7] start to wonder [C] why.

 

You’ve never [F] tried this before. It’ll [C] open a door,

To [D7] something that you thought you couldn’t [G7] do. [D7] [G7]

 

And [F] take it from [C] me, that [F] little jumping [C] flea.

Will [D7] cheer you up and chase away your [G7] blues. [D7] [G7]

 

So give me a [C] uke - I want a [B7] u-ku-[C] le-le .

[A7] It speaks to me saying [Dm] please, please [A7] play [Dm] me.

[G7] All through the day, and [C] all on my own.

[A7] I’ll be [D7] strumming away ‘til the [G7] cows [D7] come [G7] home.

 

So [C] play your ukulele. Don’t [D7] keep it to yourself.

Your [G7] moans and groans will fade away.

[C] They should [Gdim] stick’em on the [Dm] national [G7] health.

 

I [C] love my ukulele. It’s al [D7] ways been a friend.

I’ll [G7] hold it tight and keep it close, right to the very [C] end.
