| Welcome Cheeba. So what kind of music have you playing on your new Lanikai? You might be interested in checking out Dominator's tabs at http://www.rockslide.org/Ukulele_Tab.html |

Cheeba,
Try this one out. I know you know the rest of the words and the tune.
Dm C
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
Dm C
A tale of a fateful trip.
Dm C
That started from this tropic port,
Bb C Dm
Aboard this tiny ship.

Now, play the same tune, but sing the words to "Amazing Grace"; strangely enough, it works.
(As well in reverse - play AG, sing the GITheme.) |

A side note: The late George Harrison was a big fan of Hawai'ian music and an avid ukulele player.
Note to Retro: I've heard that some folks have had a near religious experience from the GITheme. |
