  • If you go to ukuleleunderground 's forum people have tabbed out the whole song. Hope this helps.

  • Wow!! That was really great! Nice one James! You should record that and make a funky music video! 

  • i am truly touched this is beautiful

  • "Because," lyrics by Edward Teschemacher, music by Guy d'Hardelot a/k/a Helen Rhodes. Published in 1902. It was a big hit.

    Because you came to me, with naught save love, and hold my hand and lift mine eyes above, a brighter world of hope and joy I see, because you came to me. Because you speak to me in accent sweet, I find the roses waking `round my feet, and I am drawn through tears and joy to thee, because you speak to me...

  • James tunes his uke "standard" one step up.

    ADFB. So listening and watching can be

    misleading.

  • Those strings sound SOOO BRIGHT! I love it.

  • I would also like to have the chords... I am a little too lazy to get it just by listening :-)

  • wow, those gut strings sound fantastic...

  • it would be awesome if someone could find the chords for this. i need them very much.

  • has anyone figured out the chords to this yet? I see a wide range in there, though I could swear it's a B, F, G rotation with a bunch of 7ths and #'s thrown in. Also looks like an A6 is used in that micro-bridge halfway through the second chorus... it's hard to tell from the video though. I'm assuming it's standard tuning?

  • yes, it's standard tuning, high g, but I couldn't figure the chords...

  • Cheers for the response! It's only a matter of time before someone motivated enough figures it out. Knowing it's in standard tuning helps a lot... James is used to playing in a different tuning (low-A 'Canadian' tuning) right?

    For those of you who are curious, this song is much, much older than you. It has been performed by many greats, including old school performers (Enrico Caruso, and Mario Lanza portraying him), Perry Como, and more recently Andrea Bocelli. Youtube has the lot!

  • Great song. I like his voice on this song. Does anybody remember when he didn't sing at all. I mean I can understand that it was just nerves but his voice is really nice

  • Does anyone know where i can find the music to this song?

  • nothing like a little wine and a ukulele...LOL

  • im planing on singing this to the one my heart as fallen for thank you so much for bringing this to the world

  • OO! I love it. x

  • Tops ! Thank you
