Cold Enough For Socks
Today has been pretty cool. I haven't actually put sock on, and the windows are still open, but I have thought about putting on socks and closing windows. And that means Christmas is comming. So, today I learned this song on my ukulele.
CHRISTMAS TIME'S A-COMIN'
[D] Holly's in the window
[A7] Home where the wind blows
[D] Can't walk for runnin'
[A7] Christmas Time's A-[D] Comin'.
[D] Can't you hear them bells ringin', ringin'
[G] Joy, don'tcha hear them singin'
When [D] it's snowin', I'll be goin'
[A7] Back to my country [D] home.
[D] Christmas Time's A-Comin'
[A7] Christmas Time's A-Comin'
[D] Christmas Time's A-Comin'
And I [A7] know I'm goin' [D] home.
White candle's burnin'
My old heart's a-yearnin'
For the folks at home when
Christmas Time's A-Comin'.
Snow flake's a-fallin'
My old home's a-callin'
Tall pine's a-hummin'
Christmas Time's A-Comin'.
But it sounds a lot better with a fiddle, mandolin, banjo, and bass.
Does a uekele sound like a small acoustic guitar?
ReplyDeleteYes. But it is more highly pitched, and because it only has four strings it can not make chords as complex as a guitar can make.
ReplyDelete- Matt -
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up. I guess I will stick with looking for an acoustic guitar.
Been on craigslist and ebay, and still haven't found one in my price range, but I won't let that stop me.
Thanks again for the help.
