Mama Mia

Why the hell not! Abba was such a good ukulele group; like every great ukulele group they had catchy songs, great dance moves, and excellent costumes, just missing the ukes. Mama Mia! (Bloody hell, I should never write comedy, it's bloody terrible.)



(You can't play along to this one, but get your ukes out anyway)


MAMA MIA - ABBA
Intro: C Caug4 C Caug4

(C)I've been (G)cheated by (C)you since I (G)don't know (F)when
(C)So I (G)made up my (C)mind, it must (G)come to an (F)end
(C)Look at me now, (Caug4)will I ever learn?
(C)I don't know how (Caug4)but I suddenly (F)lose control
There's a fire with-(G)in my soul
(F)Just (C)one (G)look and I can hear a bell ring
(F)One (C)more look (G)and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh

(C)Mamma mia, here I go again
(F)My (Bb)my, (F)how can I resist you?
(C)Mamma mia, does it show again?
(F)My (Bb)my, (F)just how much I've missed you
(C)Yes, I've been (G)brokenhearted
(Am)Blue since the (Em)day we parted
(F)(Bb)Why, (F)why (Dm)did I ever (G)let you go?
(C)Mamma mia, (Am)now I really know,
(F)(Bb)My (F)my, (Dm)I could never (G)let you go.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/a/abba/mamma+mia_20002675.html ]
(C)I've been (G)angry and (C)sad about the (G)things that you (F)do
(C)I can't (G)count all the (C)times that I've (G)told you we're (F)through
(C)And when you go, (Caug4)when you slam the door
(C)I think you know (Caug4)that you won't be (F)away too long
You know that I'm (G)not that strong.
(F)Just (C)one (G)look and I can hear a bell ring
(F)One (C)more  (G)look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh

CHORUS x 2

Outro : C Caug4 C Caug4 (fade out)




Somebody that I used to know

I know, this has already gone viral. But I love the Walk off the Earth's version of this song. The Chicks with Picks Melbourne dream; 15 players, 3 guitars and lets throw in another 10 players and a couple of ukes - Can we do it? Stay tuned for the video to prove it!

SOMEBODY THAT I USED TO KNOW - GOTYE (Lyrics and Chords)

PART 1 – Repeat 5 Times & PART 2 joins after 1st repeat

Dm        C               Dm      C      Dm     C  Dm  C
  Now and then I think of when we were together
Dm              C                Dm    C         Dm C Dm  C
  Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Dm       C                  Dm        C
  Told myself that you were right for me
Dm            C              Dm    C
  But felt so lonely in your company
Dm             C                Dm     C       Dm     C  ->
  But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

PART 3 Bridge: (Dm, C, Dm, C 4x)
Dm            C           Dm      C       Dm     C  Dm  C
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Dm          C             Dm   C          Dm  C  Dm  C
  Like resignation to the end, Always the end
Dm           C                   Dm       C
  So when we found that we could not make sense
Dm         C                  Dm       C
  Well you said that we would still be friends
Dm           C              Dm        C      Dm   C  Dm  C
  But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over

PART 4 Chorus:
Dm        C              Bb     C
  But you didn't have to cut me off
Dm         C             Bb                C
  Make out like it never happened and that we were no-
Dm         C            Bb        C
thing, And I don't even need your love, But you
Dm              C                  Bb       C
treat me like a stranger, And that feels so rough

Dm        C              Bb       C
  No, You didn't have to stoop so low
Dm          C                    Bb                C
Have your friends collect your records, And then change
          Dm     C                  Bb        C
Your number, I guess that I don't need that though
Dm                  C           Bb      C
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
PART 2 Dm                  C           Bb      C
       Now you're just somebody that I used to know (X2)

PART 5
Dm        C               Dm                 
Now and then I think of all the times you
C          Dm  C  Dm  C
Screwed me over
Dm           C              Bb              
But had me believing it was always something
C        Dm   C  Dm  C
That I'd done

PART 6

Dm    C             Bb        C
  And I don't wanna live that way
Dm        C          Bb       C
  Reading into every word you say
Dm    C                   Bb     C
  You said that you could let it go, And I
Dm                 C             
Wouldn't catch you hung up on
Bb            C       Dm-
Somebody that you used to know...
PART 4
Dm        C              Bb     C
  But you didn't have to cut me off
Dm         C             Bb                C
  Make out like it never happened and that we were no-
Dm         C            Bb        C
thing, And I don't even need your love, But you
Dm              C                  Bb       C
treat me like a stranger, And that feels so rough

Dm        C              Bb       C
  No, You didn't have to stoop so low
Dm          C                    Bb                C
  Have your friends collect your records, And then change
        Dm     C                  Bb        C
Your number, I guess that I don't need that though
Dm                  C           Bb      C
Now you're just somebody that I used to know,
      Dm  C    Bb      C
Somebody.....I used to know

REPEAT LAST TWO LINES 3 TIMES
