THE COMPENDIUM OF AWESOME! THE COMPLETE VOLUME 1 & 2 REVISED JANUARY 2016 The HUG Songbook Volume 1 & 2 A collection of songs used by the Halifax Ukulele Gang (HUG) Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada All of the songs contained within this book are for research and personal use only. Many of the songs have been simplified for playing at our club meetings. General Notes: ¶ The goal in assembling this songbook was to pull together the bits and pieces of music used at the monthy gatherings of the Halifax Ukulele Gang (HUG) ¶ Efforts have been made to make this document as accurate as possible. If you notice any errors, please contact us at http://halifaxukulelegang.wordpress.com/ ¶ The layout of these pages was approached with the goal to make the text as large as possible while still fitting the entire song on one page ¶ Songs have been formatted using the ChordPro Format: The Chordpro-Format is used for the notation of Chords in plain ASCII-Text format. The chords are written in square brackets [ ] at the position in the song-text where they are played: [Em] Hello, [Dm] why not try the [Em] ChordPro for[Am]mat ¶ Many websites and music collections were used in assembling this songbook. In particular, many songs in this volume were used from https://ukutabs.com/, Richard G’s Ukulele Songbook (http://www.scorpex.net/uke.htm), the Bytown Ukulele Group website (http://www.bytownukulele.ca/) and the BURP (Berkhamsted Ukulele Random Players) website (http://www.hamishcurrie.me.uk/burp/index.htm). ¶ Ukulizer (http://www.ukulizer.com/) was used to transpose many songs into ChordPro format. ¶ Arial font was used for the song text.
