This is a song from my favorite musical of all time, Sweeney Todd.
Ms. Lovett's song "By the Sea" frequently gets overlooked because it is such a far shift from the dreary storyline, but its a magical little tune that truly displays how sad the story is. Ms. Lovett truly believes her happiness is close, and daydreams about it in this little ditty.

I was asked to learn some sea themed songs for a gig and I immediately thought of this one. So I made an ukulele chart based on the sheet music and what I heard in the original broadway recording.

This is what I came up with!

Please enjoy, and be kind--I'm still learning to play Ukulele! :D
