My Original Music
UKULELE SONGS
These songs were written for my fanfiction projects, but even taken out of context I think they still work as fun ditties to sing! Over the lyrics I put the chords approximately where you should play them. Sorry for the dashes, I still need to figure out how to put in large blank spaces, apparently. I don't really have a super solid strum pattern for these.
If you see a chord with "x#" next to it and no lyrics underneath, that's meant to be played for the specified number of measures. All my songs are in 4/4 time signature, so that's 4 quarter notes in one measure. So "x1" just means you strum that chord 4 times to complete 1 measure.
Chords grouped in parenthesis are meant to be played in order, then repeated. I'll put next to it in brackets how many times. The chorus will be marked off with a header and be between {}. If you see chorus again later in the song, just repeat what was in the curly brackets.
Listen to the songs on Soundcloud, too!
COMING SOON: Expect to see more lyrics! I have a few blues and fantasy songs to share (Though without audio, sadly)
