First off, this is not only my favorite ukulele video on Youtube, but one of my favorite Bob Marley covers out there, you've got some real talent.. on another note, have you at any point put together tabs for your version? I have yet to find better ukulele tabs for this song, and I'd love to know the chords you play. thanks, and happy playing!
@mwasher88 Thanks for your comments. I use G,C for the slow parts and then G and Am for the faster parts of the song. Bridge is High C and ? sone other chord (sorry dont know the exact chord) and then Hold down 2 bar whole and Am. Sorry hope this helps. Aloha!

I am a great reggae fan but this is a super good cover, Jah man, great voice , y should try to sing the reggae version also , would sound great !!!!!!!!!!!
i dont know how anyone could dislike this, but if you were one of the people that did dislike this, i award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.
WOW!!! I'm speechless!!! You have such an amazing voice!!!! and I love Bob Marley with all my heart, but I must confess this version sounds WAY better than the original... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!! <3

Aloha from Lahaina, Maui! I just want to say thank you to everyone for your comments of encouragement, I am truly humbled by the responses Thank You! Music is awesome I just got back from performing in Santa Ana, California and I had a blast! Thank You Anne and your Ohana for bringing me up to play. Take care all and God Bless!! Much love and respect!
@MarvinTevaga I think I speak for thousands when I say I'd like to hear a few more Bob Marley covers out of you. Dewdrops? Cornerstone? Redemption Song!
Hi Marvin, another phenomenal song!! Not sure if you remember me, but you sang at my brother's wedding in Maui 2 years ago at the Four Seasons. I gave your info to my girlfriend who's getting married on Oahu this November, so I really hope it works out so I can hear your beautiful voice in person again!!
marvin you're opsullutlly incredibule, i can't say things different. you have 66, 307 views in youtube video, how about to make a cd with this vocals and that little insturment youv'e got there?:)
i stumbled across this and i just have to say that you have such a beautiful voice. i absolutely love this cover. this is simply wonderful. i hope you have a successful life!
I don't really like hearing people cover Bob Marley songs because personally, no one will ever do them better. However, you've a very nice soulful voice and made the song your own.
Ataahua waiata (Maori) it means "Beautiful Song" ... I like your island reggae concept of an old Marley favourite. Liked, subbed & faved. Will check out more of your work Marvin. Well done!
Aloha! Recovering from the flu when you recorded this?!? OK, I was already impressed, but the fact that you weren't 100% health-wise, impresses me more. You have some sick (and I mean that in a GOOD way) talent. Thanks so much for posting this and please continue to record music. You are very gifted!!
Marvin, Beautiful cover. I enjoyed the song so much I suggested it as a cover Friday tune for the Bob Marley Facebook page. They thought as highly of it as I did and it was posted today for over 6 million fans of the page to view. One love.
This is the hottest cover that I have heard.. you have a Maxwell flavor, mixed with caribe, and pacific tones..Really love this--my favorite Marley tune--thanks for posting
Really love your rendition of one of my favorite songs...and I've heard lots of versions! Your voice is amazing and soothing!! Keep up the great singing and music! Thanks so much for sharing. All the best, AA
Island style never fails! Nice cover. I don't think I have heard any better ukulele cover of this song. U have a good voice and some skiils on the uke. Keep killing it man!
@souljawaiian - I agree - I don't know how much better this song could get on ukulele (at all?) than this. This is so very good. I keep coming back to it.
you have a killer voice!! In the beginning I thought the playing was a little weak and the vocals were a little loud. Then in the middle you picked it up with the strumming pattern. I still think the vocals were a big loud though.
Thank you everyone for your comments! I really appreciate all of your feed back! I have a love for music that has blessed me in my life and I am grateful to know you enjoy it. Aloha!
