A big hit for ABBA in 1976 (also, the Swedish version by Anni-Frid was a big hit for her). Hope you like my rendition!

![The End of the World (Skeeter Davis) ukulele rendition
Surprisingly, it was a snowy day in Yokohama, and that usually puts me in the mood for singing and playing the ukulele. I managed to record three songs before lunch, so it was a productive morning!
I first heard the Hermans Hermits version of this song first, but I think Skeeter Davis had the first big hit with this song, written by Arthur Kent and Sylvia Dee. According to Wikipedia, Dee, the lyricist, drew on her sorrow from her fathers death to set the mood for the song. My mother passed away a few months ago, so perhaps its the reason I chose to do this song. Nothing to do with the coronavirus pandemic, which I suppose to some people feel like an apocalyptic event. Well get through this strange time. Everybody stay safe and try not to be part of the chain of spreading the virus.
[C] Why does the [Am] sun go on [G] shining?
[F] Why does the sea rush to [C] shore?
[Dm] Don’t they [G7] know
it’s the [Em] end of the [A7] world
‘Cause [Dm] you don’t love me any[G7]more…
[C] Why do the [Am] birds go on [G] singing?
[F] Why do the stars glow a[C]bove?
[Dm] Don’t they [G7] know
it’s the [Em] end of the [A7] world
It [Dm] ended when I [G7] lost your [C] love
//: I [F] wake up in the morning and I [C] wonder
Why [G7] everything’s the same as it [C] was…
I [Em] can’t understand, no I [A7] can’t understand
Why [Dm] life goes on the way it [G7] does…
[C] Why does my [Am] heart go on [G] beating?
[F] Why do these eyes of mine [C] cry?
[Dm] Don’t they [G7] know
it’s the [Em] end of the [A7] world
1. It [Dm] ended when you [G7] said good-[C] bye [C7] ://

![Snowbird (Anne Murray) ukulele cover
Theres something about snowy days that makes me want to grab my ukulele and record a song. I decided to give this Anne Murray song a try. Hope you like my cover.
[ intro: C Cmaj7 Dm / G7 / / C / ]
Be[C]neath this snowy [Cmaj7] mantle cold and [Dm] clean
The [G7] unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to [C] green
The snowbird sings the [Cmaj7] song he always [Dm] sings
And [G7] speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in [C] spring
When [C] I was young, my [Cmaj7] heart was young then, [Dm] too
And any [G7] thing that it would tell me, thats the thing that I would [C] do
But now I feel such [Cmaj7] emptiness with[Dm]in
For the [G7] thing that I want most in lifes the thing that I cant [C] win
[C] Spread your tiny [Cmaj7] wings and fly a[Dm]way
And [G7] take the snow back with you where it came from on that [C] day
The one I love for[Cmaj7]ever is un[Dm]true
And [G7] if I could, you know that I would fly away with [C] you
The [C] breeze along the [Cmaj7] river seems to [Dm] say
That shell [G7] only break my heart again should I decide to [C] stay
So little snowbird take me [Cmaj7] with you when you [Dm] go
To that [G7] land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters [C] flow
[C] Spread your tiny [Cmaj7] wings and fly a[Dm]way
And [G7] take the snow back with you where it came from on that [C] day
The one I love for[Cmaj7]ever is un[Dm]true
And [G7] if I could, you know that I would fly away with [C] you
Yeah, [G7] if I could you know that I would [F] fly
[Dm7] away with [C] you Snowbird (Anne Murray) ukulele cover](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ieZVIfdnrPg/mqdefault.jpg)


![No More Lonely Nights (Paul McCartney)
The fourth song from my Beer Can series No. 3. Hope you like my rendition of this 1984 Paul McCartney tune.
I can wait another [Cm7] day
[F] Until I [Gm] call you
[Eb] Youve [F] only got my [Bb] heart on a [D7] string
and [Gm] everything a-[Eb]flutter
[F] But another lonely [Cm7] night
(and another, and a[F]nother)
Might take for[Gm]ever
[Eb] Weve [F] only got each [Bb] other to [D7] blame
Its [Gm] all the same to [Eb] me, love
Cause I [F] know... what I [Bb] feel... to be [Eb] right
/ No more [F] lonely [Bb] nights
[Eb] No more [F] lonely [Bb] nights
[Eb] Youre my [F] guiding [Gm] light
[Cm7] Day or night Im always there
[F] May I never miss the [Cm7] thrill
[F] of being [Gm] near you
[Eb] And [F] if it takes a [Bb] couple of [D7] years
To [Gm] turn your tears to [Eb] laughter
I will [F] do... what I [Bb] feel... to be [Eb] right
No more [F] lonely [Bb] nights (never be another)
[Eb] No more [F] lonely [Bb] nights
[Eb] Youre my [F] guiding [Gm] light
[Cm7] Day or night Im always there [F7]
And I [Eb] wont go away until you [F] tell me so
No Ill [Eb] never go a[F]way
No more lonely [Eb] nights [F Eb Bb] No More Lonely Nights (Paul McCartney)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jjCphKE0Njs/mqdefault.jpg)
