gotten me into.

The start
The Vancouver Ukulele Circle was formed in September 2000 after Ralph Shaw,
Vancouver's own "King of the Ukulele", and Virginia Ise put a small ad in a local
newspaper.
Who we are
The Vancouver Ukulele Circle now has about 120+ members but still has no goals or
objectives except to provide a place where ukulele enthusiasts can meet, play some
songs and have a few laughs. About 30 people show up at any one evening.
The members come from a wide variety of musical back grounds. Most of us use the
GCEA tuning but other tunings are also welcome...and we have one or two baritones uke
players too. Players play wooden ukes as well as banjo-ukes, chrome resonator
ukuleles, plastic ukuleles.....you name it. If it has 4 strings and sounds like a ukulele then
it is completely permissible.
Other instruments are also welcome as they provide wonderful accompaniment to our
plonking. So far we have had 2 steel guitars, an electric bass guitar, a trumpet, a banjo,
a fiddle, a saw(!) and a normal guitar.
How it works
The VUC meets on the 3rd Tuesday of every month. Meetings were originally held in the
common room at Ralph's place, but for a few years now they have been at Our Town, a
very informal cafe at Kingsway and Broadway. Some of us meet at 6:15 pm for dinner
and others join for the strumming that starts around 7:30pm.
We have a new compilation of 120 tunes from which we select tunes to sing together for
the first half of every evening. The songbooks are available from Wendy or Peter at the
meetings for $10. After the break, we have short performances (now limited to one tune)
by whoever is willing, followed by a few more tunes sung as a group.
There are no membership fees, but we occasionally pass a hat for loonies at the
meetings to cover things like photocopies, parties and purchases of items of interest to
members.

Hey Kids, lets TRANSPOSE KEYS!
What is transposing keys? Transposing is changing a song from
one key to another! Why? Sometimes a song is in a key that you
might find difficult to sing or play in.
How to Transpose:
• Find the row that starts with the letter name of the key the
song is in. To find the name of the chord in the new key, read across the row from
the original key to the new chord.
• Example: Let’s say the chords in the song are G, Am, C7, This chord progression
is in the key of G, and you would like to change the key to F. G is the third row
from the bottom. F is the fifth row from the bottom. The next chord is Am. We find
A in the G row and travel up to the F row. It corresponds with G. So the new chord
is Gm . The C found in the G row matches with Bb in the F row, so chord
substitution is Bb7.
• Remember, when transposing chords of a song from one key to another the only thing that
changes is the letter of the name of the chord, not the type of chord it is.

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life
Eric Idle
Am D G Em
Some things in life are bad, they can really make you mad
Am D G
Other things just make you swear and curse
Am D
When you’re chewing on life’s gristle
G Em
Don’t grumble, give a whistle
Am D7
And this’ll help things turn out for the best
G Em Am D7 G Em Am D7
And always look on the bright side of life (whistle)
G Em Am D7 G Em Am D7
Always look on the light side of life (whistle)

If life seems jolly rotten, there’s something you’ve forgotten

And that’s to laugh and smile and dance and sing
Am D G Em
When you’re feeling in the dumps, don’t be silly chumps
Am D7
Just purse your lips and whistle - - that’s the thing CHORUS
Am D G Em
For life is quite absurd and death’s the final word

You must always face the curtain with a bow
Am D G Em
Forget about your sin – give the audience a grin
Am D7
Enjoy it - -it’s your last chance anyhow
G Em Am D7 G Em Am D7
So always look on the bright side of death (whistle)
G Em Am D7 G Em Am D7
Just before you draw your terminal breath (whistle)
Life’s a piece of sh*t when you look at it
Life’s a laugh and death’s a joke it’s true
You’ll see it’s all a show
Keep’em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you

Both Sides Now
Joni Mitchell
G Am C G Bm C G
Bows and flows of angel hair, and ice cream castles in the air,
C Am D
And feather canyons everywhere; I’ve looked at clouds that way.
G Am C G Bm C G
But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone,
C Am D
So many things I would have done, but clouds got in the way.
G Am C G C G
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now, from up and down,
C G Bm C G
And still somehow it’s cloud’s illusions I recall
C D D7 D G Am G D
I really don’t know clouds at all.
G Am C G Bm C G
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way you feel
C Am D
When every fairy tale comes real; I’ve looked at love that way.
G Am C G Bm C G
But now it’s just another show, you leave them laughing when you go,
C Am D
And if you care don’t let them know, don’t give yourself away.
G Am C G C G
I’ve looked at love from both sides now, from give and take,
C G Bm C G
And still somehow it’s love’s illusions I recall
C D D7 D G Am G D
I really don’t know love at all.
G Am C G Bm C G
Tears and fears and feeling proud, to say “I love you” right out loud;
C Am D
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds; I’ve looked at life that way.
G Am C G Bm C G
But now old friends are acting strange, they shake their heads; they say I’ve changed
C Am D
But something’s lost and something’s gained in living every day
22
G Am C G C G
I’ve looked at life from both sides now, from win and lose,
C G Bm G
And still somehow it’s life’s illusions I recall
C G Am D D7 G
I really don’t know life at all.

The Circle Game
Joni Mitchell
C F C
Yesterday a child came out to wonder,
F G7
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar.
C F Em
Fearful when the sky is full of thunder,
F C G7 C Dm7
And tearful at the falling of a star.
C Dm7 C
Chorus: And the seasons, they go ‘round and ‘round,
Dm7 C
And the painted ponies go up and down.
F C
We’re captive on the carousel of time.
F Em
We can’t return, we can only look behind
F
From where we came,
C Dm7 C Dm7
And go ‘round and ‘round and ‘round in the circle game.
C F C
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons,
F G7
Skated over ten clear frozen streams.
C F Em
Words like “when you’re older” must appease him,
F C G7 C
And promises of someday make his dreams.
Chorus.
C F C
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now,
F G7
Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town.
C F Em
And they tell him, “Take your time, it won’t be long now,
F C G7 C
‘Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down.”
Chorus.
C F C
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty,
F G7
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true.
C F Em
There’ll be new dreams, maybe better dreams, and plenty,
F C G7 C
Before the last revolving year is through.
Chorus

City of New Orleans
Arlo Guthrie
C G C Am F C G
Riding on the City of New Orleans, Illinois Central, Monday morning rail.
C G C Am G C
There’s 15 cars and 15 restless riders, And 3 conductors, 25 sacks of mail.
Am Em
They’re out on a southbound odyssey, the train pulls out of Kankakee,
G D
Rolling past the houses, farms, and fields
Am
And the passing towns that have no name
Em G7 G7 C
Freight yards full of old black men, And the graveyards of rusted automobiles
F G C
CHORUS: Good morning America, how are you?
Am F C G
Say, don’t you know me? I’m your native son.
C G Am D7
I’m the train they call the City of New Orleans
F G C
I’ll be gone 500 miles when the day is done.
C G C
Dealing card games with the old men in the club car
Am F C G
Penny a point ain’t no one keeping score
C G C
Won’t you pass the paper bag that holds the bottle,
Am G C
Yeah, and feel the wheels a grumbling ‘neath the floor
Am Em
And the sons of pullmen porters, and the sons of engineers,
G D
Ride their fathers’ magic carpet made of steel.
Am Em
Mothers with their babes asleep, are rocking to the gentle beat
G G7 C
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel CHORUS
C G C Am F C G
Night time on the City of New Orleans, changing cars in Memphis Tennessee,
C G C Am
Halfway home we’ll be there by morning, through the Mississippi darkness,
G C Am
Rolling down the sea. But all the towns and people seem,
Em G D
To fade into a bad dream, and the steel rail, still ain’t heard the news.
Am Em
The conductor sings his songs again, the passengers will please refrain,
G G7 C
This train’s got to disappear in them railroad blues CHORUS

Desafinado (“Slightly Out of Tune”)
Antonio Carlos Jobim
F G7
Love is like a never ending melody
Gm7 C7 D7
Poets have compared it to a symphony
Gm A7 D7
A symphony conducted by the lighting of the moon
G7 Gbmaj7
But our song of love is slightly out of tune
F G7
Once your kisses raised me to a fever pitch
Gm7 C7 D7
Now the orchestration doesn’t seem so rich
Gm Bbm
Seems to me you’ve changed
F Em7
the tune we used to sing
A Bbdim Bm7 E7
Like the Bossa Nova love should swing
A Bbdim Bm7 E7
We used to harmonize two souls in perfect time
A F#m7 Bm7 E7
Now the song is different and the words don’t even rhyme
C C#dim Dm7 G7
Cause you forgot the melody our hearts would always croon
Gm7 F#dim G7 C7
And so what good’s a heart that’s slightly out of tune
F F7
Tune your heart to mine the way it used to be
Gm7 C Am7 D7
Join with me in harmony and sing a song of loving
Gm7 Bbm Fma7 Dm7
We’re bound to get in tune again before too long
G7 Eb7
There’ll be no Desafinado when your heart belongs to me completely
G7 Gm7
Then you won’t be slightly out of tune
C7 F6
You’ll sing along with me

Don’t Dream It’s Over
Neil Finn, performed by Crowded House
D Bm7
There is freedom within, there is freedom without

Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
D Bm7
There’s a battle ahead, many battles are lost
G F#
But you’ll never see the end of the road while you’re traveling with me
G6 A D Bm7
Hey now, hey now, don’t dream it’s over
G6 A D Bm7
Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in
G6 A D Bm7
They come, they come, to build a wall between us
G6 A
We know they won’t win
D Bm7
Now I’m towing my car, there’s a hole in the roof
G F#
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there’s no proof
D Bm7
In the paper today, tales of war and of waste
G F#
But you turn right over to the TV page
CHORUS
D Bm7
Now I’m walking again to the beat of a drum
G F#
And I’m counting the steps to the door of your heart
D Bm7
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
G F#
Get to know the feeling of liberation and release
CHORUS

Folsom Prison Blues
Johnny Cash
F
I hear a train a comin’, Its rollin’ round the bend,
F7
And I ain’t seen the sunshine since I don’t know when
Bb F
I’m stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin’ on
C7 F
But that train keeps rollin’ on down to San An-tone
F
When I was just a baby my mama told me “Son
F7
Always be a good boy don’t ever play with guns.”
Bb F
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.
C7 F
When I hear that whistle blowin’ I hang my head and cry
F
I bet there’s rich folk eatin’ in a fancy dining car,
F7
They’re prob’ly drinkin’ coffee and smokin’ big ci-gars,
Bb F
But I know I had it comin’, I know I can’t be free,
C7 F
But those people keep a-movin’, and that’s what tortures me.
F
Well if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine,
F7
I bet I’d move it all a little farther down the line,
Bb F
Far from Folsom Prison, that’s where I want to stay,
C7 F
And I’d let that lonesome whistle blow my blues a-way.

I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.

I got some friends that I could go to working for

Still I wish you'd change your mind if I ask you one more time

But we've been through that a hundred times or more
C Dm G C
If I get there before the snow flies, and if things are lookin' good
C Dm G
You could meet me if I send you down the fare.

But by then it will be winter, not too much for you to do

And those winds sure can blow cold way out there.

Galaxy Song
Eric Idle & John Du Prez
Bb Bbmaj7 Gm Bb
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
Bb Gm Gm(b9) F7
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
F7 F11 F7
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
F7 Bb
A sun that is the source of all our power.
Bb Bbmaj7 Gm Bb
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
G7 Cm
Are moving at a million miles a day
Cm Ebm Bb G7
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
C7 F7 Bb
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.

If You Could Read My Mind

C Am G7
Oh babe I hate to go.
There’s so many times I’ve let you down,
So many times I’ve played around.
I tell you now that they don’t mean a thing.
Every place I’ll go I’ll think of you
Every song I’ll sing, I’ll sing for you.
When I come back I’ll bring your wedding ring.
Chorus
Now the time has come I’m leaving you.
Just one more time let me kiss you.
Then close your eyes and I’ll be on my way.
You can dream about the days to come,
When I won’t have to leave alone,
About the times when I won’t have to say…
Chorus

Snowbird
Gene MacLellan, performed by Anne Murray
C Em Dm
Beneath it's snowy mantle cold and clean,
G7 C
The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green.
C Em Dm
The snowbird sings the song he always sings,
G7 C
And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring.
C Em Dm
When I was young my heart was young then, too.
G7 C
And anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do
Em Dm
But now I feel such emptiness within,
G7 C
For the thing that I want most in life's the thing that I can't win.
Chorus:
C Em Dm G7
Spread your tiny wings and fly away,
C
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day.
C Em Dm
The one I love forever is untrue,
G7 C
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you.
C Em Dm
The breeze along the river seems to say,
G7 C
That he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay.
C Em Dm
So, little snowbird, take me with you when you go,
G7 C
To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow.

When Irish Eyes Are Smiling
Traditional
C G7
There’s a tear in you eye, and I’m wondering why,
C
For it never should be there at all.
G7 C A7
With such power in your smile, sure a stone you’d beguile,
D7 G7
So there’s never a teardrop should fall
C G7
When your sweet lilting laughter’s like some fairy song
C C7 F
And your eyes twinkle bright as can be;
D7 G
You should laugh all the while and all other times smile,
D7 G7
And now smile a smile for me.
Chorus:
C F C
When Irish eyes are smiling, sure, 'tis like the morn in Spring.
F C A7 D7 G7
In the lilt of Irish laughter you can hear the angels sing.
C C7 F C
When Irish hearts are happy, all the world seems bright and gay.
F F#dim C A7 D7 G7 C
And when Irish eyes are smi-ling, sure, they steal your heart away.
For your smile is a part of the love in your heart,
And it makes even sunshine more bright.
Like the linnet’s sweet song, crooning all the day long,
Comes your laughter so tender and light.
For the springtime of life is the sweetest of all,
There is never a real care or regret
And while springtime is ours through all of youth’s hours
Let us smile each chance we get.
Chorus

The green grove is gone from the hill, Maggie
C Gm C
Where first the wild daises sprung
F Bb
The rusty old mill is still, Maggie
F C F
Since you and I were young
F Bb
And now we are aged and grey Maggie
F C
The trials of life nearly done
F Bb
Let us sing of the days that are gone, Maggie
F C F
When you and I were young

They say I am feeble with age Maggie

My steps less sprightly than then

My face is a well written page, Maggie

But time alone was the pen
