I think this is a lovely song to play on ukulele. For a female voice trying to sing in the higher octave, I like to transpose +5 because otherwise it is either too high for me or a little bit too low, and I don’t think it makes the chords any harder.
Actually, After playing this a couple of times, I’ve come to realise that Dm works better for me than Dm7 🙂
Reminds me of the movie “sing” every time!
I think that the A7 sounds wrong. I am using C instead. Any thoughts?
@Drawing2daMax: G7 absolutely DOESN’T work. Try playing along to the song with that chord!
I dig the Golden Slumbers part with Fmaj7 instead of F, just try it, it’s lovely.
I like it… Its just not the whole song….
G7 also works for that one “homeward” line.
Wonderful!!
