8 ukulele chords used in "Somewhere Over The Rainbow / What A Wonderful World" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole: Am, C, D, Dm7, Em, E7, F and G
Today is israel’s bithday and I played the song for him. I hope he’s watching. He died in 1995 and I feel true grave for him. 🙁
Iz isn’t dead my friends. He is just watching his troubles melt away like lemon drops, somewhere over the rainbow. He lives on… in our hearts.
The “D” didn’t quite sound right to me. I play a G7 I stead and that works well.
Hey, what is the strumming pattern for this?
Hi! This is a helpful tip!
strumming pattern is:⬇️⬇️⬆️ ⬆️⬇️⬆️
the space is a pause for a second!
Some people say DDU-UDU, which basically means D=down, U=up.
hope this helps!
Please like my pet hamster he is dying
Yea… Can you be quiet now? This website is to learn how to play ukulele, not be disrespectful to others. I know you’re probably gonna respond with some stupid reply, but just leave every else alone. You’ve done enough and it’s getting old. Like c’mon dude, it’s not funny and never was in the first place.
I just started learning ukulele and I absolutly LOVE this song!!!
ok before anyone else says the lyrics are mashed up and wrong just know that this is the ARTIST’S interpretation and the lyrics are all accurate and yes, It’s a Wonderful World is SUPPOSED to be in the song ok thank you for your time I rest my case bye
spider man strikes again
What would be the easiest one to transpose it to? I am new to uke and I need some help 🙂
And I think to myself: What a polluted world
well I see skies of pollution and and dirty clouds
and trash and litter and global warming..?
well earth has changed a lot since Israel passed and I wish we can change it ??
this is the only person i’m really happy to share a birthday with
honestly i love this and i think this is really good. i use the island scum DDU-UDU. i think it sounds best! hehe thank you guysss
I personally preferred to play dm7 then a g instead of d. It flows up a little more than with a g7
The lyrics in this is is mixed with Louis Armstrongs “What a wonderful world”.
Happy birthday, we miss you <3
I am just starting to play ukulele and my dad told me to play this song and I love it!!!!!
DDU-UDU is the island strum:) Good luck! You’re awesome!
Me just scrolling through the comments and seeing this argument about the strumming pattern, but I find it hard to do the strumming patterns that Y’all do so I do DDD-DU x2 and I know one of y’all are probs gonna come at me saying that it’s the wrong one, but I’m just saying what i found helpful as a beginner
