This is my song TLA with the lyrics and all the ukulele chords marked in. They're all one finger (or no finger) chords. If it's not making sense, the whole blurb is at http://malwebb.com/tla . Oh, and on the 0000 chord (Am7 or C6) you can do the little variation to 0002 (Am9 or Cmaj7). If you can't see the chords well enough, try full screen.

The song is all TLAs (Three Letter Abbreviations/Acronyms) and I thought that since "Tielei" sounds, to me, like a Polynesian word, I'd make it somewhat that style, complete with wave impersonations at the start. The backing vocals and the guitar part were overdubbed in Reaper after I shot the video. Play along!

Now, I'm still working on the lyrics, and since posting this, I found a few I've missed, like ESL and OTT. Let me know if you think of any others I've missed. I'm avoiding countries, organizations or anything commercial (like IBM or PDF), as it'd never end!
