This is probably my favorite Beatles song. It's not just a beautiful love song. It's a lyrical masterpiece. I love how the song flows from here to there to everywhere.
This is my second attempt at this song. My first attempt came in my early days of YouTubing (early 2007) on my old keonepax channel. I had spent several days in the hospital, so I had a lot of time to think about what song I wanted to cover after I got discharged. However, I think my voice wasn't in the best shape at that time, and I made a headless video because I didn't want to show the scars I had on my face from shingles. So I think this second attempt is much better. Hope you like it!

![Wichita Lineman (Glen Campbell) ukulele cover
Love this 1968 song! It was written by Jimmy Webb, who gave it to Glen Campbell but said the song wasnt finished yet. Glen Campbell liked it so much, he didnt wait for Webb to finish it and went ahead and recorded the song with assistance from the Wrecking Crew. Hope you like my cover!
Here are the chords I used:
intro: [Dmaj7 Em7 Dmaj7 ]
[Em7] I am a lineman for the [Gmaj7] county
[F#m7] and I drive the main [Em7] road
[Bm7] Searchin in the [F#m7] sun for a[E]nother over[B]load
I hear you singin in the [A] wire
I can hear you through the [E] whine
[Em] And the Wichita [B] lineman
[F#m7] is still on the [Gmaj7] line [F#m7 Gmaj7]
[A] I know I need a small va[Gmaj7]cation
[F#m7] but it dont look like [Em7] rain
And [Bm7] if it snows that [F#m7] stretch down south
wont [E] ever stand the [B] strain
And I need you more than [A] want you
And I want you for all [E] time
[Em] And the Wichita [B] lineman
[F#m7] is still on the [Gmaj7] line [F#m7 Gmaj7]
[ solo: A /// Gmaj7 /// F#m7 /// Em7 ///
Bm7 / F#m7 / E /// B /// ]
And I need you more than [A] want you
And I want you for all [E] time
[Em] And the Wichita [B] lineman
[F#m7] is still on the [Gmaj7] line

![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
