Notes: In the live performances, the B in the chorus over “Dew . . .” is replaced with an E because it sounds better with the guitar part. I still think B sounds better on solo uke, and that allows you to avoid playing an E chord, the bane of the uke player’s existence.
I believe guitar players feeling left out can play along if they put a capo on the 5th fret! (I think it’s the 5th. Someone who knows what they’re talking about correct me if I’m wrong.)
