The Apartment Song - Ukulele Original

This is for my ukulele friends all over the world.

The Apartment Song
C Dm7 C
I will build you an apartment in my heart
C Dm7 F G
You draw up the blueprints so construction can start
C Dm7 C Dm7
Cause I don't like the way that were apart
F G
You're too far away F G
You could move in any day C Dm7 C Dm7
Into my heart

1 Heart Place is prime real estate
The floors are solid hardwood not some cheap laminate
And you won't need to have another housemate
The neighbors are really cool
And I'll put in a pool
If you relocate
Em 0332 Em7
And when it rains you can sleep late Em6 F G F G
And when you wake we will play daily, ukulele
Em 0332 Em7
And we'll drink coffee and read the news Em6 F G
You'll do the crossword, I'll debate the clues F G
It's not a contest C Dm7 C Dm7
But I will lose

And it'll have everything you like
Maybe a vintage muscle car or a pretty rad bike
There'll be a direct line to Musicguymic
And you can have a hound
That you picked up at the pound
If you like

And when it snows well snuggle up
I'll make hot chocolate to fill your cup
Until the snow lets up
And when it does we will get dressed
And go out walking and chase our breath
And feel blessed
In my heart

I will build you an apartment in my heart
You draw up the blueprints so construction can start
Cause I don't like the way that were apart
You're too far away
You could move in any day
Into my heart

You had everything there - smart, meaningful, funny lyrics, the playing, the voice, melody - inspiring! I was wondering, what kind and size ukulele do you have? I'm interested in learning (that's an understatement - I'm psyched out of my mind right now) so i was just curious. Thanks and keep it up!

@Lunastunas Thank you so much! :) I'm playing a Pono tenor size ukulele in this video. You might want to start with concert size or if you have the chance, try out all the sizes. Good luck! I look forward to your first video, ukulele is a lot of fun to play!

@nbvball i think that she uses: D,U,C, - U,D,U,C Repeat (the "C" is chuck but you can hit it if you want)

The thing is, with such a gorgeous woman as the one in this video, she could be talking about ingrown toenails (sans ukulele) and I'd still be captivated!!! : )
