Mainstream ‘Ukulele Songs:
Black Magic Woman by Carlos Santana
I’m Yours by Jason Mraz
Love by Julia Nunes
There are so many mainstream songs out there that we could not even start to put a dent in posting all of them, so here are some good places to look for chords to your favorite mainstream songs (the chords for guitar are the same as for ‘ukulele).
Not sure about a chord? Look it up on the ‘ukulele chord charts page
How to read the ‘ukulele chord charts at the bottom of our song sheets:
Sometimes it’s easiest to write chords out like this: C: 0003. The “C” tells you what chord we are showing you, and the numbers show which frets to hold on each string in order: 0 = open G string, 0 = open C string, 0 = open E string, 3 = third fret A string.

| September 15, 2007Hi Nancy,
Just to let you know Slack Key Kid has the chords to “Taropatch Twist”. I e-mailed Uncle Keoki a few days ago to see if it is okay if we posted them on the site. If I don’t hear back from him in a month or so I will assume that it is okay to do so. Keep checking back.

I have been teaching myself the ukulele for just under a year now and am completely addicted and absolutely LOVE IT!! I have just found your website and thinks it is fantastic and want to thank whoever for taking the time to put this all together. It’s brilliant and I’m learning so much. I am wanting to know if anyone can help me find some Hawaiian uke cd’s. I love the sounds of songs I’ve heard but being so far away I haven’t heard any of the songs you have listed with the chords by the Kau’Crater boys and the big Iz. I’ve looked everywhere in NZ and we just don’t seem to have them in stock anywhere and no-one has heard of them. Does anyone know where I can get them?
Cheers
Nudgit the Kiwi!

or

Also try Youtube, many of the Ka’au Crater Boys songs are covered there.
Jam on!

| February 15, 2008First time visiting hea, great site with great info. BTW, another site for Hawaiian music is e808.com . . . not as many selections as Mele, but for the price, it’s pretty good.
