Notes for PUA Songbook Two
This song book is intended for the purpose of community singing at the ukulele
association song circles and not for financial gain.
The chord chart on the inside cover is complements of Ralph Shaw,
http://www.ralphshaw.ca/
Things to help you get around the song sheets:
The songs are in alphabetical order except when there is a two page song. The two-
page songs were moved so they could be seen at the same time when the book is
open flat. There is a table of contents to point you to the right page for a song.
S.N. stands for Starting Note - the 1st note of the melody. It is at the top of each
song along with the time signature and other information.
N.C. stands for NO CHORD. Don’t play chords during the lyric section with this
abbreviation over the phrase.
“Ritard.” Ritardando —slowing down (abbreviation: rit. or ritard.) This symbol is
used at the end of a number of songs and usually means: give each bar or word of
the phrase designated twice the normal length – 4 beats, vs. 2. Used as an ending
to some songs.
A Coda is a symbol used to show the concluding passage of a piece
or movement, it is used as a directional sign on a few pages.
Repeat Symbols: ||: :|| Anything between these two symbols are
repeated – usually at the end of a song – to indicate that we repeat the last
line on or more times to end the song.
Many songs have had chords simplified so that inexperienced players can join in
more easily. The D7 chord is often shown as the simplified version (A7 for baritone
ukes). The barred D7 is always an option. If you find a chord shape to be a
challenge, it is helpful to remember that you may play the major chord instead of
the dominant 7th. The same idea applies to minor 7ths, i.e., you can play a Dm
instead of a Dm7. Depending on the Key of song, you may not be able to go the
other way i.e., substitute a dominant or minor 7th for a major chord.
Some attempts have been made to convey beats per bar or measure. Usually a time
signature is indicated - 2/4, 4/4, 3/4. If there is a number in parenthesis after a
chord e.g. G (2), play two measures of G. If there are two chords between vertical
lines – that means, divide the measure equally between those two chords, e.g. in
4/4, | C G7 | C | is two beats of C, two beats of G7, four beats of C.
Occasionally, when there are mostly four-beat bars, a half bar of a chord is
indicated with a hyphen after it.
Transposing: you may find it easier to sing a song if it is in a key that better
matches the range of your voice. A chart is provided to help you transpose keys.
First you need to know the key of the song - usually provided at the top of the
song sheet. Often the last chord in a song is the key of the song.

Major Scale Note & Degree Chart
Below is a chart which identifies every primary chord of the twelve
major keys.
I
MAJOR
II
MINOR
III
MINOR
IV
MAJOR
V
MAJOR
VI
MINOR
VII
DIM
C D E F G A B
G A B C D E F#
D E F# G A B C#
A B C# D E F# G#
E F# G# A B C# D#
B C# D# E F# G# A#
F# G# A# B C# D# E#
C# D# E# F# G# A# B#
F G A Bb C D E
Bb C D Eb F G A
Eb F G Ab Bb C D
Ab Bb C Db Eb F G
Db Eb F Gb Ab Bb C
Gb Ab Bb Cb Db Eb F
Cb Db Eb Fb Gb Ab Bb
You will notice that there are Roman Numerals at the top of the chart. Underneath
the Roman Numerals you will find the type of chord to use in that column.
NOTE: The V MAJOR chord is commonly converted to a dominant 7th - G7 D7 A7
E7, etc. Therefore, the chords in this column may be played as either a major or
dominant 7th chord.
When you want to transpose a song from one key to another, you substitute the
chords from a particular column of that key with the chords of the new key that are
in the same column.
In other words, if you have a song with a I IV V chord progression in the key of C
you would be using the chords C F G. If you transpose it to the key of G you will
have a I IV V chord progression using the chords G C D.
One last note: If the time was taken to find and correct all mistakes and/or resolve
interpretations and discrepancies, well, the book would never get done. So here it is.
Let’s get singing!

Intro Verses:
Am E7
Of all the boys I've known, and I've known some
Am E7
Until I first met you, I was lonesome
Am Dm
And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light
Am E7
And this old world seemed new to me
Am E7
You're really swell, I have to admit you
Am E7
Deserve expressions that really fit you
Am Dm
And so I've racked my brain, hoping to explain
E7
All the things that you do to me

Galaxy Song, 1983 Eric Idle & John Du Prez Key=C, S.N.=G
Sop C CMA7 C6 C Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
C G7
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour, G7
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned, G7 C
A sun that is the source of all our power. C CMA7 C6 C
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see A7 Dm
Are moving at a million miles a day Dm Fm C A7
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour, D7 G C
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.
C CMA7 C6 C
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars. C G7
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side. G7
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick, G7 C
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide. C CMA7 C6 C
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point. A7 Dm
We go 'round every two hundred million years, Dm Fm C A7
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions D7 G C
In this amazing and expanding universe.
C CMA7 C6 C
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding C G7
In all of the directions it can whizz G7
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know, G7 C G7
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is. C CMA7 C6 C
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure, A7 Dm
How amazingly unlikely is your birth, Dm Fm C A7
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space, D7 G C
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth?

Ghost Riders in the Sky 1948 Stan Jones Key of Am, 4/4, S.N.=E
Soprano
Am (2) C (4)
An old cowpoke went ridin' out one dark and windy day Am (2) C (4)
U-pon a ridge he rested as he went along his way Am (6)
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw F (5) Am (6)
Plowin' through the ragged skies, and up a cloudy draw
Am C
Their brands were still on fire, and their hooves were made of steel Am C
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel Am
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky F Am (5)
He saw the riders comin' hard, and he heard their mournful cry
C (5) Am (5)
Yip-pi-yi-yay (Yip-pi-yi-yay) Yip-pi-yi yo (Yip-pi-yi yo) F (5) Am (4)
The ghost riders in-n-n-n-n-n the sky.
Instr. = verse Am(2) C(4) / Am(2) C(4) /Am(6) F(5) Am (6)/
Am C
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred their shirts all soaked with sweat
Am C
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd, but they ain't caught 'em yet' Am
'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky F Am
On horses snorting fire, as they ride on, hear their cry
Am C
As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name Am C
"If you want to save your soul from hell a-riding on our range Am
Then cowboy change your ways today, or with us you will ride F Am
Tryin' to catch the devil's herd, across these endless skies"
C (5) Am (5)
Yip-pi-yi-yay (Yip-pi-yi-yay) Yip-pi-yi yo (Yip-pi-yi yo) F (5) Am (4)
The ghost riders in-n-n-n-n-n the sky. F (5) Am (4)
The ghost riders in-n-n-n-n-n the sky.
