Cover for "Hallelujah" as recorded by Jeff Buckley, played on a Soprano Ukulele. Played on a Pono Ohai soprano with worth clear strings ; i think they give more projection, louder sound and i really like it, even though the ko'olau gold that came with the Uke had a nice mellow sound.
Here is the tab i wrote, showing the way i do the arpeggios.

Here for the chords :
Intro: C Am C Am
C Am
I heard there was a secret chord C Am
That David played and it pleased the lord F G C G
But you don't really care for music, do you? C F G
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth Am F
The minor fall and the major lift G Em Am
The baffled king composing hallelujah
Chorus: F Am F C G C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah .... C Am
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof C Am
You saw her bathing on the roof F G C G
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
C F G
She tied you to her kitchen chair Am F
She broke your throne and she cut your hair G Em Am
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah F Am F C G C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....
C Am
Baby I've been here before C Am
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
F G C G
I used to live alone before I knew you
C F G
I've seen your flag on the marble arch Am F
But love is not a victory march G Em Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah F Am F C G C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah .... C Am
Well there was a time when you let me know C Am
What's really going on below F G C G
But now you never show that to me do you C F G
But remember when I moved in you Am F
And the holy dove was moving too G Em Am
And every breath we drew was hallelujah C Am
Well, maybe there's a god above C Am
But all I've ever learned from love F G C G
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you C F G
It's not a cry that you hear at night Am F
It's not somebody who's seen the light G Em Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah F Am F C G C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

Merci Groudzy :)
Il faut que je m'y remette sérieusement oui !
Je viens de changer mes cordes pour des Aquila mais je crois qu'il sonnait mieux avec les Worth Clear à mon goût. Peut-être qu'il faut que les aquila mûrissent un peu (les cordes neuves c'est jamais terrible). A bientôt.
