To our fellow ukulele Jammers,

Unlike any of our previous cruises, the Indian Ocean cruise and following Southern Australia cruise had a beginner’s ukulele class, followed by a music theory class, then an advanced class. These three classes were run by Aslan (the very talented ship’s guitarist, Kiwi and uke fan) with help from Ewan.

We then ran a ukulele get-together and jam on most sea days at 2pm. We were very lucky to have our friends Hans and Rowena (fellow BUMS) on-board who help lead some of the songs.

(Photo of the ukulele get-togther – 07 March 2020)

During the cruise we enjoyed three ukulele concerts. Below are photos from the first concert. Photos from the second and third are back a few pages. Details of the songs we sang are at the end of this book.

A Horse with No Name Page 1 of 2 America (1972)

Strum: |: D- DU DU DU | DU DU -U -U :| x 2 First note: E

On the [Am] first part of the [A7sus4] journey I was [Am] looking at all the [A7sus4] life. There were [Am] plants and birds and [A7sus4] rocks and things. There was [Am] sand and hills and [A7sus4] rings. The [Am] first thing I met was a [A7sus4] fly with a buzz And the [Am] sky with no [A7sus4] clouds. The [Am] heat was hot and the [A7sus4] ground was dry, But the [Am] air was full of [A7sus4] sound.

Chorus: I’ve [Am] been through the desert on a [A7sus4] horse with no name. It felt [Am] good to be out of the [A7sus4] rain. In the [Am] desert you can re-[A7sus4]-member your name ‘Cause there [Am] ain’t no one for to [A7sus4] give you no pain. La, [Am] laaa, laaa, la-[A7sus4]-uh la-la-la la-la-[Am]-la, laaa [A7sus4] la Laaa, [Am] laaa, la-[A7sus4]-uh la-la-la la-la-[Am]-la, laaa [A7sus4] la

After [Am] two days in the [A7sus4] desert sun My [Am] skin began to turn [A7sus4] red. After [Am] three days in the [A7sus4] desert fun I was [Am] looking at a river [A7sus4] bed. And the [Am] story it told of a [A7sus4] river that flowed Made me [Am] sad to think it was [A7sus4] dead.

After [Am] nine days I let the [A7sus4] horse run free ‘Cause the [Am] desert had turned to [A7sus4] sea. There were [Am] plants and birds and [A7sus4] rocks and things. There was [Am] sand and hills and [A7sus4] rings. The [Am] ocean is a desert with its [A7sus4] life underground And a [Am] perfect disguise a-[A7sus4]-bove. Under the [Am] cities lies a [A7sus4] heart made of ground But the [Am] humans will give no [A7sus4] love.

Intro: [G / Am /] [G / D /]

[G] Bows and [Am] flows of [C] angel [G] hair, And ice cream [D] castles [C] in the [G] air, And feather [C] canyons [Am] everywhere; I've looked at clouds that [D] way. But [G] now they [Am] only [C] block the [G] sun, They rain and [D] snow on [C] every-[G]-one, So many [C] things I [Am] would have done, But clouds got in the [D] way.

I've [G] looked at [Am] clouds from [C] both sides [G] now, From [C] up and [G] down, and [C] still some-[G]-how It's [D] cloud's ill-[C]-usions [G] I recall I [C] really don't know [D/] clouds [D7/] … at [G/] all. [Am/] [G / D /]

[G] Moons and [Am] Junes and [C] Ferris [G] wheels, The dizzy [D] dancing [C] way you [G] feel When every [C] fairy [Am] tale comes real; I've looked at love that [D] way. But [G] now it's [Am] just a-[C]-nother [G] show, You leave them [D] laughing [C] when you [G] go, And if you [C] care don't [Am] let them know, don't give yourself a-[D]-way.

I've [G] looked at [Am] love from [C] both sides [G] now, From [C] give and [G] take, and [C] still some-[G]-how It's [D] love's ill-[C]-usions [G] I recall I [C] really don't know [D/] love [D7/] … at [G/] all. [Am/] [G / D /]

[G] Tears and [Am] fears and [C] feeling [G] proud, To say "I [D] love you" [C] right out [G] loud; Dreams and [C] schemes and [Am] circus crowds; I've looked at life that [D] way. But [G] now old [Am] friends are [C] acting [G] strange, They shake their [D] heads; they [C] say I've [G] changed But something's [C] lost and [Am] something's gained in living every [D] day

I've [G] looked at [Am] life from [C] both sides [G] now, From [C] win and [G] lose, and [C] still some-[G]-how It's [D] life's ill-[C]-usions [G] I recall I [C] really don't know [D/] life [D7/] … at [G/] all. [Am/] [G↓]

[Am] The ship will sail across [G] many seas Some [Am] un-charted [G] ports From [Am] Auckland … and [G] Australia too And [Am] Venice … to [G] New York The [Am] Suez … and the [G] Panama [F] Here on the [G] Sea Prin-[Am]-cess

[Am] The chef ... and the [G] matre’d, Will [Am] do their very [G] best, To [Am] make sure all the [G] passengers, En-[F]-joy their [G] culinary [Am] fest.

[Am] No phones, no kids, no [G] motor cars, and [Am] very slow Inter-[G]-net. Like [Am] Robinson Cru-[G]-soe, It's as [F] primitive [G] as it [Am] gets.

[C] There stands the tar boy a-[F]-waiting in demand, With his [C] blackened tar pot in [G7] his tarry hand. [C] There he sees a sheep with a [F] cut upon her back, And [G7] this is what he's waiting for, it's a [C↓] tar [F↓] here, [C/] Jack.

When [C] shearing is all over lads, we've [F] all got our cheques, [C] Roll up your swags, boys, we're [G7] off on the tracks. The [C] first pub we come to, it's [F] there we'll have a spree, And [G7] everyone who comes along, it’s [C↓] come and [F↓] drink with [C/] me.

[C/] [G/] [D/]

So I [Em] worked across the [C] country end to [G/] end [C/] [G/] [D/] Tried to [Em] find a place to [C] settle down, Where my [D] mixed up life could [D7] mend Held a [Em] job on an [C] oil rig, flying [G] choppers when I [C] could But the [Am] nightlife nearly [F] drove me round the [D] bend.

Pub With No Beer Slim Dusty (1957)

[C] Then the swaggie comes [C7] in smothered [F] in dust and flies He [G7] throws down his roll and rubs the sweat from his [C] eyes, But when he is [C7] told, he says [F] what's this I hear, I've trudged [G7] fifty flamin' miles to a pub with no [C] beer

[C] There's a dog on the ver-[C7]-randah for his [F] master he waits But the [G7] boss is inside drinking wine with his [C] mates He hurries for [C7] cover and he [F] cringes in fear, It's no [G7] place for a dog, round a pub with no [C] beer

When I’m Cleaning Windows Page 2 of 2 George Formby (1936 – movie: “Keep Your Seats, Please”)

Interesting facts:

1. Because the song’s lyrics were racy for the time, it was banned by the BBC from being played on the radio.

2. The song was so successful that George Formby recorded another version of the song entitled "The Window Cleaner (No. 2)". This song uses similar orchestration to the original version and it is about further things which were seen on a window cleaning round.

Scale Practice Routine

These routines are a structured way to practice scales to develop rhythmic control, speed and synchronization of hands. The routines are using the C major pentatonic and A natural minor pentatonic scales. A good practice rate is 70 bpm, and a metronome is worth using, especially when starting. With the picking hand, alternate between the index and middle fingers (sometimes called I & M, sometimes 1 and 2). Once confident with all these routines, try alternate pentatonic formations, then learn in different keys. A few different pentatonic formations and keys are shown on the previous page.

Power chords Power chords are two-note chords, with no major or minor quality to it. They are made up of just the root (1st) and the fifth (5th) note of a major scale.

I find them very boring and rarely used, but it is handy to know about them. In this songbook, the C5 chord is only used in The Beatles song Yesterday. Power chords are a key element of many styles of rock, especially heavy metal and punk rock. They are commonly played when using amplifiers, especially when distortion is added.

A few simple ukulele power chords:

12-Bar Blues - Pattern The basic structure uses 3 chords for 12 bars, and then repeats. In this case a bar is 4 beats. The chords are based on the 1st, 4th and 5th notes (i.e. roman numeral: I, IV and V) in the scale of the key. In the key of A, this would be [A], [D] and [E].

Common 12-bar blues sequence: (I) (IV) (V) (I) (I) (I) (I7) A D E (IV7) (IV7) (I) (I) C F G D G A (V7) (IV7) (I) (V7) F Bb C G C D Turnaround

The 12th bar in the above sequence has a turnaround used when there is more than one verse, otherwise it would finish on an (I). The “7” next to the roman numeral represents the dominant 7th chord (e.g. an [A] becomes an [A7], a [D] becomes a [D7], and an [E] becomes an [E7]).

There are a lot of chord variations, however the following is an example of an easy progression in the key of A: [A] [A] [A] [A7] [D7] [D7] [A] [A] [E7] [D7] [A] [E7]

Songs in the 12-Bar Blues Pattern: • Folsom Prison Blues (Johnny Cash) (Key: G + A) • Hound Dog (Lieber/Stoller, recorded by Elvis Presley & others) (Key: C) • Chains (The Beatles) (Key: A) + others…

Adding the Sixth Often used in introductions or as a final chord at the end of a song. It can also be used in a chord progression to liven up or add flavour to a song. Sometimes used in 12-bar blues, rockabilly, rhythm and blues, and jazz.

The simplest approach is to alternate between the chord and its sixth. Suitable songs for this approach could include: • Act Naturally, • Chains, • Folsom Prison Blues, • Hound Dog, • I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing, • I’m Gonna Knock On Your Door, • Lay Down Sally (maybe in chorus), • Sweet Little Sixteen and • Your Mama Don’t Dance.

An example chord progression for Sweet Little Sixteen that normally only uses C, F and G7:

[C C6 C C6] [C C6 C C6]

[F F6 F F6] [F F6 F F6] ↔

[G7 G13 G7 G13] [G7 G13 G7 G13]
