Hi ! I’m Ben.

I hope you enjoy this collection of songs. It has been made possible thanks to the
wonderful support of ukulele learners over several years on my patreon page,
patreon.com/ukuleleroadtrips, making it possible for me to do what I do.

I also have a musical adventure blog called Ukulele Road Trips where I travel the
world and compose original songs. You’ll find a couple of those in here.

Make sure you share your feedback about this collection ! And you can do that on

the page for this songbook on my website, here ! Or on twitter & patreon. Thanks,

& enjoy, love, Ben

Onward with your ukulele adventure, friends!

 ● Use the title lists below (click on the title) or on the left of the PDF so that you can jump
straight to the song you want ! (one is my preferred order, one is alphabetical and one is by
difficulty)
● Do click on the song & 󰞹TUTORIAL󰞹 links to give the original a listen and learn the

song:

● Make sure you notice where the chords are written in relation to the lyrics
A7 A7 A7
All you need All you need All you need these are not the same
Here’s a couple more notations. But DON’T WORRY, anything beneath the fifth line only
very rarely comes up. And if it does, it’ll make sense within the context of the song:

Notation Meaning

C play the set number of beats for this chord (often 4)

C/ chord lasts for twice the set number of beats

C// chord lasts for three times the set number of beats

C (italic) chord lasts for half the set number of beats

[0003] chord notation. each number is a fret. this is a C

C* play C in the special way described in the songsheet

↓ ↓↑ ↑↓↑ lift your left hand fingers to mute the underlined chords

↓ ↓↑ ↑↓↑ emphasize the highlighted chords by playing those louder

C↓↑↓ play the indicated strumming pattern on that chord only

C| strum the chord once (one ↓) and ‘stop’

C_ the chord falls slightly before the beat

_C the chord falls slightly after the beat

X percussive sound: chuck (hit the strings with your right hand)

12343232
this is indicating a finger-picking pattern, where 1 = thumb, 2
= index, 3 = middle finger, 4 = ring finger

c0 c2 e0 these indicate single notes the small letter is the string

and number is the fret number

 UKULELE ROAD TRIPS

In 2015 I set out with a tenor, a soprano and a big Gregory Backpack to travel
the world and write songs about the exciting places and cultures I’d encounter.

See a few of the places I’ve stopped to write

and film songs
HERE

One of the great joys of the adventure is to record the

Ukulele Road Trips Podcast
with young (or young at heart) locals in the bigger cities. Interrupted only by
original ukulele songs and a few puns, these locals share what’s it’s like to be
them, there and what is surprising about their history and culture. LISTEN HERE or

And the tapestry here in my skin (e0)
F|
Is a map of the vict’ries I win
C|
Look where I've been I make everything happen
E7 E7 Look at that mean mini Maui just tippity
tappin'

E*
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, Hey!

[Chorus]
Am F C
Well anyway, let me say you're welcome! (‘you’re welcome!’)
E7 Am For the wonderful
world you know

F C
Hey, it's okay, it's okay you're welcome! (‘you’re welcome!’)
E7 Am Well, come to think of it, I
gotta go

F C
Hey, it's your day to say you're welcome! (‘you’re welcome!’)
E7 Am 'Cause I'm gonna
need that boat

F C
I'm sailing away, away, you're welcome! (‘you’re welcome!’)
E7 Am
'Cause Maui can do everything but float (‘you’re welcome!’)
F C F C You're welcome, (‘you’re welcome!’)
you're welcome

‘And thank you!’
