I wanted to share this song I play when friends or acquantices of mine pass away. I usually play it in private when no one else is around, because, well, I sing terribly. In light of Sunday being September 11th, and all the tragic losses from Hurricane Katrina, I’ve been playing it a lot lately.
The original version of this song from the 40’s, the lyrics are much different. See here. I discovered the song, only after Ukulele Eck, (Joel Eckhaus), sang it at a radio station and I caught some MP3s online—- The version presented here, is only what I tabbed out myself, who knows, it’s probably not even right, but it plays fine to me and it’s a simplified pattern for just playing along. — To help, I put up a mpg video clip of me playing this, WARNING again, I sing terribly but here you go:
