Down In The Valley

¾ timing – waltz 1,23, 1, 23

            I                          V7
Down in the valley, the valley so low,
                                         I
Hang your head over, hear the winds blow.
                                                          V7
Hear the winds blow, dear, hear the winds blow.
                                             I
Hang your head over, hear the winds blow.

            I                              V7

Roses love sunshine, violets love dew,

                                           I
Angels in heaven know I love you;

                                                 V7
Know I love you, dear, know I love you,

                                    I
Angels in heaven know I love you.

Happy and sad sounds on the Ukulele

Happy and Sad sounds on the ukulele

Harmony are tones that go together to create different sounds.
Happy sound is using C chord and adding G7 for interest and tension and dreamy sounds.
Sad sound is using Am.
Minor chords give us sad mellow sounds.

Make a blues song

This took a lot of researching at my end of the world to find this kind guitarist who shared this information to the public.

Write a blue's song
1. Find something sad.
2. Write a line about this bad situation.
...

3. Add another line that rhymes with the first line (if you can’t think of one, just sing the first line again)
4. Add another two lines that don’t need to rhyme with anything, but tell people what you’re going to do about it.
5. Add in the chord changes.

Examples of blues songs.
Corrina Corrina,
Add some more easy ones for ukulele.
