(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ukulele on the beach)
Intro:
Am
Hey man, what can be better
Dm
than being drunk on the beach
Am

E7
This one’s for Deach.
Am
Well I went to Ostend
E7
with a bottle of wine
Am
played the uke on the beach
E7
and I felt real fine
Dm Dm G7
and I thought about writing
C
a song for Deach
Am Dm
Well I admit it was not an easy task
Am Dm
And who is that Deach anyway? You may ask
Am Dm E7 (listen to me good!)
Now let me tell you, he’s the unsurpassed
Am Dm Am E7
Ukulele Underground Ukulele Hero
Am Dm Am E7
Ukulele Underground Ukulele Hero
Dm E7
And I know he’ll be ukulele king one day

Am Dm Am Dm E7
I play U-U-U-Ukulele… on the beach
and write a song for Deach
Am
And I went to Ostend
E7
with a sixpack of beer
Am
played the uke on the beach
E7
shared my beer on the pier
Dm
and I think it must be
G7 C
so great to live by the sea
Fm C
And I would even feel much better
Fm G7 > I play U-U-U..
if Deach were here to play the uke with me

Last night I wrote this song. It’s inspired by the “Lousberg”, a hill that overlooks the city of Aachen, where I live. At night it grants a beautiful view in a peaceful atmosphere and you can get sentimental and start thinking about all the people on the globe… This is my second attempt at a ukulele song with English lyrics. I know I need to practice some chord changes, but the song wanted to be published first. Maybe I’ll record another version of it later. Any suggestions for improvement are welcome (I’m not a native English speaker)!

1)
C G
Cars moving in the distance
D
like pearls of light on strings
and around me all is silence
but the rustling of leaves in the wind
but the hum of the city below me
so many people, lights and things
BRIDGE:
Bb F
no daylight left that disturbs
Bb A
street sweepers are treating the curbs
CHORUS:
D A
On a hill high above the city
D A
my feet wet with morning dew
C#7 F#m
I make a wish for everybody down there
Bm7 E7 A
and sing a night song, a night song to you
D A
And good luck to all those in peril,
D A
and peace to all those people that I knew
C#7 F#m
and all of the best to all of the rest
Bm7 E7 A F G > C
and a night song, a night song to you
2)
C G
I’m singing this song to you my dear
D
and to all those who can’t sleep tonight
C G
and to all of my good friends out there far and near
D
till the dawn brings on the new light
C G
Begin again, dear nightingale,
D
you waterfall of bright sound!
BRIDGE:
Bb F
To praise we will God united,
Bb A
until the new day is lighted
Repeat CHORUS > END
