Overplayed Songs

In sports, karaoke, TV, radio, and movies this Neil Diamond song is a staple everywhere. Most of it is very easy except for the quick C-Bm-Am chord change.

This song has literally held the record at one point for most radio plays and covers so we can’t forget this Beatles hit. Make sure to play it in the key of F as Paul tuned his guitar up that way, plus it’s easier in F on the ukulele.

There are plenty of overplayed Billy Joel songs to choose from, but this one is a great challenge. There are a lot of chords, but if you can pull off this three part song on the ukulele that is awesome! 

We all know playing the ukulele means having to play these tunes far too often. But it still always reminds us how awesome Israel Kamakawiwo’ole was and what a great mix of songs these are.

This shows how four simple chords repeated can make you a hit, and rightfully so, it is a good song.

It is definitely overplayed in TV and movies still after all these years, but this Journey hit sounds great when played on your ukulele.

No matter where you are on this planet, at Christmas time this song will find a way to pierce your eardrums. It is inevitable and you just have to accept it!

If you learn to play ukulele or guitar this song is a must. It is such a common cover that there must be some law mandating all college bands learn this simple four chord tune!

Another simple four chord yet incredibly popular ditty! It is amazing what you can pull off with a few chords and a catchy riff. The chords do change faster in this song, it is going to take some practice!
