@billitakerplunk028 Ha. I am spoken for.

[Flewosh]

I'm not sure if this has been asked a dozen times already but what are the chords for this song? It looks(and sounds) so simple when you do it! Oh and wonderful performance overall!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@Flewosh Thanks. It is simple. the chords can be found on hundreds of guitar sites.

[Vermonster90]

@Flewosh it looks like Ken is playing C (in form of A at 3rd fret), G (in for F at 2nd fret), Dm (normal fingering), F(normal figering): I agree it sounds great this way

[Acatzin116]

loovee this<3

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@Acatzin116 Thanks.

[soonhalle]

This is absolutely charming.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@soonhalle Thank you.

[TrashValentina]

your voice reminds me a bit of Paul Simon's. nice work!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@TrashValentina Thank you.

[mikebt87]

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@mikebt87 Thank you.

[smithmania06]

[airwave089]

Hey Ken, could I get the tabs to this please?

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Sorry. There are no tabs. The chords are easily available though. Just google them.

[airwave089]

@KenMiddletonUkulele I will, thank you! :)

[antoniosala]

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@sintetikadreams Thanks for watching.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

@hasitolindo Thanks.

[gehamlin]

This is just terrific. Love it.

[gehamlin]

This is just terrific. Love it.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks.

[MrDanilsk]

AWESOME! Reminds me of Jack Johnson for some reason.

btw, is the ukulele easier to play\learn to play than the guitar? Are those strings nylon? I really love the sound.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

It is easier to start to play a ukulele, but in the end they are both hard. No they are not nylon. It is a hi-tech plastic called nylgut.

[Zuxeria]

I like it is very original.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks.

[vincentkjones1]

Loved it.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks.

[muertomako]

One of my favorite songs. Seen it covered dozens of times... This is one of the most original. Well done!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks.

[TheImpostore]

You have an awesome voice

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks.

[900blueberry]

Love this cover. Great take on a great song.

The Spanish style strumming on the second half was the best.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you.

[jcpc10001]

Maravilhoso, sua interpretação é magnifica. Hei man...Somos seus fãs para sempre! Venha tocar um dia no Brasil! Abraços...

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Eu adoraria jogar no Brasil, mas ainda é um grande mundo.

[monoyamono]

i do this too, but on guitar.like the reggae idea.cool.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks for watching.

[caramelorojo]

increible

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you.

[JasonNAlaska]

Ken, I miss worded my last post. I meant how are you fingering the chords( what frets)? I have been trying to find your chord placement but can't. Are you in a different tuning? A E Bminor D but can't seem to figure our your method of achievement. Again great job and thanks

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Just regular chords in C: C G Em F etc.

[Mikaerupochi]

{The person who can play the musical instrument is enviable.

[JasonNAlaska]

Ken, I don't think folks are just looking for the chords they are looking for how you are fingering it. I for one can't figure out how your playing it and I've tried for quite a while. Everyone should be trying to play it like you because it's wonderful.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

It is all in the left-hand muting, the chords are straightforward. The right hand is just down-up most of the way through, accenting certain notes and doing something different at the end of each verse and chorus. There is no real strum pattern (I don't believe in them) and no right-hand chunking (I don't like it). Most of it is strummed with the first finger. Check out my live video - the audio may be clearer.

[sepiaworld]

hi, i am just a beginner uke player, but this is one of my favorite songs and i would just love to know how to play it. would you mind posting the chords? thanks :)

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Just google them. They are so easy to find.

[KurioseKreatur]

Absolutely perfect.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks very much.

[ADELECG85]

This is going on my favourites! You are very good!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you.

[Amberisification]

I love this. Good job, sir. If you had an album I'd totally buy it.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Sorry, no album. Thanks anyway.

[maswellasm]

Like most everyone else has already said, this is a beautiful version of this song (dare I say...better in someways than the original? *prepares to get attacked*). Its so simplistic and I love how much emotion your voice lends to the song. I just can't get over how beautiful this is. Thank you for sharing this with us! =D

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks very much for your comment.

[daddyborges]

Truly wonderful and surprising. I am amazed.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks very much.

[AnnyDL]

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Why not just google them? They are easily available.

[barthavok]

I really wish robert smith has seen this video. The sound and rhythm that you do with the okulele is as the name of song, just like heaven

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks.

[griftar]

Fantastic! I'm gonna go grab my uke and practice!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Haha. that's one of the nicest comments I've ever had.

[JnetSpeach]

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Nobody taught me. I am just playing it the way I want to. Has the same chords as the original. Just do it your own way.

[JnetSpeach]

@KenMiddletonUkulele im a beginner....i dont have my own way. Im trying to figure things out. o mannnn...sigh...

[veroniqueqq]

[Ange8]

Looks like you're recording with a Zoom H2, is that right ?

That's a sweet cover :)

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Yes, I find the H2 easy to use for recording like this.

[infowazz]

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks.

[Samizdata]

Loved the contrast between the sharp, bright sound of the ukulele combined with the mellow, understated singing style. A favorite song of mine for years that has well and truly been done justice.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks for that lovely comment.

[samokrane]

j'adore ta touche pérso

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

[Blergaderf]

I Love Thos Version Im Just Wondering If I Can Get The Chords You Used For This Song It Would Be Much Appreciated :)

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

why don't you Google them instead of asking me to do it?

[Blergaderf]

@KenMiddletonUkulele Wow calm down there no need to be rude about it i complemented you... you really should take into consideration the kindness people give you instead of just saying thank you people enjoy your stuff and they'd like to learn what your doing no need to be an ass about it

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

I am sorry, my comment does seem a bit abrupt. No ungratitude was intended. Thanks for watching.

[Em4Freak]

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

[davidlabelle361]

Rock and Roll Man. Is that a a uke or a madolin? Whatever it is, it totally rocks. Don't ever stop!!!

I love how you play it

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks.

[kimchibaka]

Thank you for your reply Ken, how can I download this? Via iTunes or the like?

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Download Free Studio Manager and that has all sorts of useful programs. It doesn't use much space and it works well.

[kimchibaka]

So many thanks Ken, can't wait to pop this on in the car :) Absolutely tremendous, I'm almost tempted to buy an instrument myself. How long have you been playing?

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

A long time.

[kimchibaka]

@KenMiddletonUkulele Ok thanks I guessed that haha.

[kimchibaka]

A truly beautiful cover Ken - would so love a copy of this to play on MP3 player in the car - just lovely, like a dream in fact. Very inspiring!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks. Feel free to download it.

[noobz0r]

Keep up the great work, Ken! Looking forward to more!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you.

[Bluntfacts]

Ken

The fact you even know this song is fantastic, and I don't say that lightly. Plenty of people my age have no idea of any music pre-1980. I tell them they are idiots and they don't like hearing that. Sure, those songs pre-1980 are great, but it's now 2010.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks for the comment.

[kimchibaka]

This song is from 1987
