It’s hard not to be put in a good mood when you hear this tune! This song is great for ensembles with confident voices to handle the vocal harmonies.

Solo
#

There is a brief 12-bar solo that can be played in standard high-G tuning. I’ve used slides instead of bends because I can never seem to get a full bend out of my strings.

Chorus

The low-G ukuleles play staccato chords softly on the beat, starting with the Dm midway up the neck to get a nice decending effect.
