Most of our ‘ukulele tabs were made with Powertab editor 1.7. and then converted to PDF. (If for some reason you would like the Powertab file for one of our ‘ukulele tabs (the ones without the *) please let us know and we will send it to you.) Download Powertab here. All others were created in Word using fonts Courier New or Lucida Console.

As with anything in life, the standard notation in these ‘ukulele tabs is not perfect. It’s hard to make a computer sound like a person using a MIDI file. But I try my hardest to get the note durations close. As my transcribing skills get better so will my ‘ukulele tabs.

Please note: we have tried our best to contact the artists and/or copyright holders of all the songs tabbed by Live ‘Ukulele. If you are an artist or copyright holder and would like your tab removed please let us know and we will take it down.

Want to find ‘ukulele tabs for your favorite songs? E-mail us at: liveukulele @ gmail.com (remove spaces) with the song title and artist. We will try our best to find or figure out the tab and post it here.

If you have ‘ukulele tabs to share - please let us know! We will check it out, and if its new to us we’ll post it, giving you credit.

    Hi Live Ukulele.com,

    Thank you for taking the time to feature your free tabs. Looks like hard work.

    I know I won’t understand all the musical stuff above the tabs.
    After awhile, they begin to look like erect bean sprouts, some alone and some with pals hanging together, not to mention the squiggly worms every now and again. The big looking ‘S’ at the beginning must stand for Super.

    I have an Ohana tenor Ukulele. I am at the point where I can barely spell Ukulele, without looking. Perhaps, someday I could make folks IZ, Herb Ota-Jr, Jake Shimabukuro, Brittany, and Live Ukulele.com, proud that I can sound fairly good using your tabs and without much musical background. At best, I will be able to entertain myself by playing the music I love.

    Thank you, Warmest and Best Regards,
    Lloyd

    Hello Live Ukulele,
    You truly are wonderful people. I am in Ireland where Ukes are only becoming popular so there ’s not much in the line of tuition or help for a lonely Uke learner like myself. You really help greatly. I got the tabs for Brittni’s ‘Glass ball slack key’, but they seen to be different from the album or the live performance. The difference is around the 6th line on the tabs sheet where the line begins with a bar chord on the 7th fret, In her performance she starts this line on the 1st or 2nd fret,(hope I’m making sense!) or else I am reading it wrong. Anything that you can advise on would be much appreciated.
    PS. I just received delivery of a Moore Bettah Tenor uke. It really is something special with a beautiful sound. Highly recommended!!
    The very best to you all.
    Kieran

    Wow,
    You guys realy got some awsome tabs on here. I like the fact that you have Hawaiian songs along with more mainstream songs; so there’s kind of something for everyone. It’s also cool that you guys have the star wars theme, I think thats great.

    Keep up the good work!

    Herb Ohta Jr’s Europa is nice but I just can’t seem to get Brittni Paiva’s beautiful solo arrangement out of my mind - just have to find a way to play it. She hasn’t published any tab arrangements yet, so wondering if anyone else out there has tried to work it out. Hours I’ve spend studying her video has met with only partial success.

    liveukulele

    | April 7, 2008

    I would ask Dominator about that, he does a lot of alternate tab versions.

    Keep in mind that Brittni has done her own thing with that song. Try doing a Herb Tanimoto version!

    Check out these videos, same song different interpretation.

    Thanks for the song but I can’t get the While my Guitar gently weeps printed out.
    Thanks Jake Shimabukuro.

    | April 23, 2008

    That tab is the only one that I link to that is a Powertab file (for some reason Mr. Whitehead’s PDF file will not open). You will need to download Powertab to open it. You can download it at:

    This site is great, thanks! I’ve been attempting to learn to play the uke for about a year and it’s going pretty well. I wanted to know if anyone know where I can get my hands on a Jack Johnson tab for Better Together?

    Iam looking for a uke TAB for samba pa ti (Brittni Paiva) style ?

    liveukulele

    | October 27, 2008

    Whoo… I don’t have a tab for Samba Pa Ti. You are asking for a pretty advanced song (if you play it like Carlos) so, you should be able to make a guitar tab should work. If I recall, Brittni’s version isn’t too much different from the original, so using a tab for Santana’s shouldn’t be a problem. There is one at: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/c/carlos_santana/samba_pa_ti_tab.htm

    If you use this, just think of the notes as being played five frets lower, or the fifth fret of the guitar = open string on ‘ukulele. It shouldn’t take too long to figure the whole thing out.

    Or, you could use a powertab (if you have the program) and use the Tools>>Shifter tool feature and change “shift fret wise” to -5. Now you can play the tab without the two bass strings and it will be equivalent to an ‘ukulele tab.

    http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/c/carlos_santana/samba_pa_ti_power_tab.htm

    I hope that helps,

    ~Hippie Guy

    Hi,
    first i want to say that this site is awesome! I just play to entertain myself so i’m not that good.
    second, I wonder if you guys have a tab for santana’s black magic woman, and if you don’t, you could make one?
    thanks =)
    Ole

    | June 18, 2009

    Hi Ole,

    I’m glad that you like the site.

    I don’t have a tab for Black Magic Woman, but I’ve been jamming on it quite a bit lately - good song. I’ll see if I can make something up for you.
