Notes about the music
This lead sheet with Ukulele Chords makes it simple to get the information from the music that you need. The melody along with the chords give you all the information you need in its minimal form to create a performance. To make this piece more accessible I have arranged it in the key of G Major which is a third below the recorded version which is in B Major. This makes the higher notes more attainable to sing for a more people and makes it easier to play for most. Who likes playing with 5 sharps?!
Structure
With the repeats and D.S. markings this Lead Sheet will follow the form as heard on the recording.
Melody
As with all my arrangements, to try and minimise the number of pages needed, the small note heads in brackets indicate where the melody is different when repeated and these notes should be played/sung on the appropriate verse. The melismatic phrase on "boat" at the end of bar 37 is a simplification of what is sung on the recording and the performer is free to amend as it suits them.
Alternatives.
I have different versions of this piece which may suit different performers/instrumentalists more. All my versions are: Voice Piano and Guitar - Melody on its own stave with guitar chords above it and a piano accompaniment underneath; Voice Piano and Guitar - As above but the melody is combined with the right hand of the piano part; Guitar Lead Sheet - Melody with guitar chords; Ukulele Lead Sheet - Melody with Ukulele chords. Just click on the publisher link above or below this description which will take you to all my arrangements.
