23 Feb 99 - 02:49 AM (#59755) Subject: RE: Ukulele Lady From: John in Brisbane Bud, I've asked an old friend a thousand miles away to cough up the chords. He got them from an Australian published volume of material from the 30's, and re-published here in the 70's. Like a lot of songs from that period it was full of jazz chords which are an absolute pleasure to play or sing harmony with.
If you're playing in G may I suggest you try from the following list of possible chords - G G7 C Cm E7 Em B7 A7 D7 D. If you're not fussed about waiting for the published chords, the list of the ones I gave should pull you through for songs from that period. I can't recommend the Diminisheds and Minor Sevenths out of my head.

08 Aug 99 - 01:43 AM (#103107) Subject: RE: English Music Hall From: puisin@olypen.com Ukelele Lady was a popular novelty song in the 1940's and, if my poor memory serves, was recorded by Bing Crosby and/or Bob Hope. There must be a Crosby song book out there somewhere. |

I saw the splendor of the moonlight on Honolulu Bay. There's something tender in the moonlight on Honolulu Bay. And all the beaches are full of peaches who bring their ukes along. And in the glimmer of the moonlight they love to sing this song.
If you like a ukelele lady,
Maybe she'll sigh, maybe she'll cry,
Maybe she'll sigh an awful lot, |

02 Jul 00 - 10:37 PM (#250808) Subject: RE: Ukulele Lady From: Mrrzy I love this song. I heard someone Stump the Band with it on Johnny Carson and was appalled they didn't know it. Then again, I watched Ray Bradbury lose on you Bet Your Life through not knowing what post-prandial meant, and almost wept and the shattering of the idol... |

05 Jan 02 - 12:17 AM (#621379) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Need CHORDS, Ukulele lady From: Mark Cohen This is written for standard uke tuning, G'-C-E-A, so F is a pretty common key...the F chord on the uke (soprano, concert, or tenor) is equivalent to C on the guitar minus the bottom two strings. The baritone uke is tuned D'-B-G-E, like the guitar (except the D is an octave higher). Confused yet? Aloha, Mark |

10 Jan 06 - 03:41 PM (#1645748) Subject: RE: Ukulele Lady From: GUEST,bobschmitt@onewest.net Jim Kweskin had a second verse that goes something like this: I long to linger in the moonlight on Honolulu Bay.
