Brockley Ukulele Group (B.U.G): August 2008

Look at it! Just look at it! It's bloody breathtaking!

For the benefit of anyone considering joining BUG or anyone who can't be arsed to go through their emails here is a as comprehensive as I could manage links archive of everything song I've ever posted out. I'll be missing a few as some people sent their song choices out as pdfs. I'm gonna figure if there's a way I can post them here.

Anywho. Knock yourselves out.

Cat Stevens- "If You Wanna Sing Out, Sing Out"
Chords (Ignore the intro if you want):

And how it goes for those who haven't heard it (Not to mention a lovely picture of the man himself)

Electric Light Orchestra "Mr. Blue Sky"
Chords (Not as hard as some of them may look!)

And how it goes

The Rolling Stones: The Last Time
Chords: (This version contains E. And I know some of you have feelings about that chord but it's the only version I can find. If you have any other versions that you'd rather play feel free to mail them around)

And how it goes (Also a chance to see keith when he last occupied a recognisably human form)

Prince: "Starfish and Coffee"
Can anyone remember/and/or post the chords we used. They were fairly easy I think. Here are the lyrics anyway
http://www.lyricstime.com/prince-starfish-and-coffee-lyrics.html
And of course, it being prince, there isn't a free version to be found on the internet. So we'll just sing along best we can.

New Order: "Blue Monday"
This was THE jam track of last week so feel free to mess around with it all you want
Chords and lyrics

And I genuinely can't believe that no one knows how this goes. But if you wanna see the awesome videp again, knock yourself out

Elvis Costello: "What's So Funny About Peace Love and Understanding"
Really struggling to find a version similar to the one we played last week. Can anyone remember and mail them around?
How it goes (Albeit a live version)

The White Stripes: "Hotel Yorba"
Chords and Lyrics: http://www.giantflightlessbirds.com/ukulele/hotel_yorba.pdf
We've sung it already, so I'm pretty sure eveyone gets the jist.

Bright Eyes: "At the Bottom of Everything"
We tried this at the first meeting and it was pretty easy and fun so I though we could have another bash
Chords and Lyrics: http://www.giantflightlessbirds.com/ukulele/bottom.pdf
And you tube clip (If only to see the awesome video): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qikRcAiCtKM

Kraftwerk: The Model
Chords: I reckon it's just A minor and E minor all the way through. Feel free to correct me should you be compelled.
Lyrics:http://www.lyricsdepot.com/kraftwerk/the-model.html
Youtube clip: http://www.youtube.com/watchv=QgS252XT_Ts

Random brainwave I had last week but forgot to bring up at the meeting.

As we've been playing it every week and only me know it, here's the links for Fisherman's Blues by Mike Scott and The Waterboys
Chords & Lyrics: http://www.alligatorboogaloo.com/uke/tabs/031007.html
(Also a really wicked site for ukulele chords and tabs, I believe that Joy to the World is on there as well. Probably another good one to try)
