  • Notes for PUA Songbook Two

    This song book is intended for the purpose of community singing at the ukulele

    association song circles and not for financial gain.

    The chord chart on the inside cover is complements of Ralph Shaw,

    http://www.ralphshaw.ca/

    Things to help you get around the song sheets:

    The songs are in alphabetical order except when there is a two page song. The two-

    page songs were moved so they could be seen at the same time when the book is

    open flat. There is a table of contents to point you to the right page for a song.

    S.N. stands for Starting Note - the 1st note of the melody. It is at the top of each

    song along with the time signature and other information.

    N.C. stands for NO CHORD. Don’t play chords during the lyric section with this

    abbreviation over the phrase.

    “Ritard.” Ritardando —slowing down (abbreviation: rit. or ritard.) This symbol is

    used at the end of a number of songs and usually means: give each bar or word of

    the phrase designated twice the normal length – 4 beats, vs. 2. Used as an ending

    to some songs.

    A Coda is a symbol used to show the concluding passage of a piece

    or movement, it is used as a directional sign on a few pages.

    Repeat Symbols: ||: :|| Anything between these two symbols are

    repeated – usually at the end of a song – to indicate that we repeat the last

    line on or more times to end the song.

    Many songs have had chords simplified so that inexperienced players can join in

    more easily. The D7 chord is often shown as the simplified version (A7 for baritone

    ukes). The barred D7 is always an option. If you find a chord shape to be a

    challenge, it is helpful to remember that you may play the major chord instead of

    the dominant 7th. The same idea applies to minor 7ths, i.e., you can play a Dm

    instead of a Dm7. Depending on the Key of song, you may not be able to go the

    other way i.e., substitute a dominant or minor 7th for a major chord.

    Some attempts have been made to convey beats per bar or measure. Usually a time

    signature is indicated - 2/4, 4/4, 3/4. If there is a number in parenthesis after a

    chord e.g. G (2), play two measures of G. If there are two chords between vertical

    lines – that means, divide the measure equally between those two chords, e.g. in

    4/4, | C G7 | C | is two beats of C, two beats of G7, four beats of C.

    Occasionally, when there are mostly four-beat bars, a half bar of a chord is

    indicated with a hyphen after it.

    Transposing: you may find it easier to sing a song if it is in a key that better

    matches the range of your voice. A chart is provided to help you transpose keys.

    First you need to know the key of the song - usually provided at the top of the

    song sheet. Often the last chord in a song is the key of the song.

  • Major Scale Note & Degree Chart

    Below is a chart which identifies every primary chord of the twelve

    major keys.

    I

    MAJOR

    II

    MINOR

    III

    MINOR

    IV

    MAJOR

    V

    MAJOR

    VI

    MINOR

    VII

    DIM

    C D E F G A B

    G A B C D E F#

    D E F# G A B C#

    A B C# D E F# G#

    E F# G# A B C# D#

    B C# D# E F# G# A#

    F# G# A# B C# D# E#

    C# D# E# F# G# A# B#

    F G A Bb C D E

    Bb C D Eb F G A

    Eb F G Ab Bb C D

    Ab Bb C Db Eb F G

    Db Eb F Gb Ab Bb C

    Gb Ab Bb Cb Db Eb F

    Cb Db Eb Fb Gb Ab Bb

    You will notice that there are Roman Numerals at the top of the chart. Underneath

    the Roman Numerals you will find the type of chord to use in that column.

    NOTE: The V MAJOR chord is commonly converted to a dominant 7th - G7 D7 A7

    E7, etc. Therefore, the chords in this column may be played as either a major or

    dominant 7th chord.

    When you want to transpose a song from one key to another, you substitute the

    chords from a particular column of that key with the chords of the new key that are

    in the same column.

    In other words, if you have a song with a I IV V chord progression in the key of C

    you would be using the chords C F G. If you transpose it to the key of G you will

    have a I IV V chord progression using the chords G C D.

    One last note: If the time was taken to find and correct all mistakes and/or resolve

    interpretations and discrepancies, well, the book would never get done. So here it is.

    Let’s get singing!

    And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour, G7

    That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned, G7 C

    A sun that is the source of all our power. C CMA7 C6 C

    Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars. C G7

    It's a hundred thousand light years side to side. G7

    It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick, G7 C

    But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide. C CMA7 C6 C

    We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point. A7 Dm

    We go 'round every two hundred million years, Dm Fm C A7

    And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions D7 G C

    In this amazing and expanding universe.

    The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding C G7

    In all of the directions it can whizz G7

    As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know, G7 C G7

    Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is. C CMA7 C6 C

    So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure, A7 Dm

    How amazingly unlikely is your birth, Dm Fm C A7

    Hard Times Come Again No More 1854, Stephen Foster(As performed by Nancy Griffiths 4/4 time, S.N.=G)

    Soprano Baritone G (2) |C - - - |G -

    Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears, C - |G - - - |D7 - - - |G - - - | - - While we all sup sorrow with the poor;

    - - G - - - | - - - |C - - - | G - There's a song that will linger for-ever in our ears;

    C - |G - - - |D7 - - - |G - - - | - -

    Oh Hard times come again no more.

    - - |G |C G –

    While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay, C - G D7 G - - - | - -

    There are frail forms fainting at the door; - - |G |C |G - -

    Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say C |G |D7 |G

    Oh hard times come again no more.

    Chorus G C G

    Tis the song, the sigh of the wea-ry, C G A D7

    Hard Times, hard times, come again no more G C G

    Many days you have lingered a-round my cabin door; C G D7 G Oh hard times come again no more.

    G C G

    There's a pale sorrowed maiden who toils her life a-way, C G D7 G

    With a worn heart whose better days are o'er: G C G

    Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day, C G D7 G

    Oh hard times come again no more.

    G C G

    Tis a sigh that is wafted a-cross the troubled wave, C G D7 G

    Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore G C G

    Tis a dirge that is murmured a-round the lowly grave C G D7 G

    Oh hard times come again no more.

    Hawaiian Halloween Blues – Jamie Thomas /=one strum (tacet)

    Soprano Baritone

    Intro D A7 D A7

    D A7 D

    On Halloween in Hawaii, you might wonder why she’s blue A7 D

    She’s got a four-stringed ukulele, but she’ll only play Hawaiian Blues

    G/ A7/

    You see, a witch came along with a “ZZAPP!! Hee-Hee-Hee,”

    G/ A7/

    She Zapped one string, now I only have three

    D A7 D

    On Halloween in Hawaii, you might wonder why she’s blue A7 D

    She’s got a three-stringed ukulele, but she’ll only play Hawaiian Blues

    G/ A7/

    Then a ghost came along with “BOO-HOO-HOO”

    G/ A7/

    A string disappeared, now I only have two

    D A7 D

    On Halloween in Hawaii, you might wonder why she’s blue A7 D

    She’s got a two-stringed ukulele, but she’ll only play Hawaiian Blues

    G/ A7/

    Then a bat came along with a “Flap” and just for fun

    G/ A7/

    He ate one string, now I only have one

    D A7 D

    On Halloween in Hawaii, you might wonder why she’s blue A7 D

    She’s got a one-stringed ukulele, but she’ll only play Hawaiian Blues

    G/ A7/

    Now the rest of this sad story – it’s quite hard to believe

    G/ A7/

    I can’t blame the witch, ghost or bat, you see

    G/ A7/

    I was tuning my uke, my last string went “Twang!!!”

    G/ A7/

    A uke with no strings, it just ain’t the same

    D A7 D

    On Halloween in Hawaii, now you know why she’s blue
