Books with Benghis Kahn | Uso Song (Alo Key uke cover w/ chords & lyrics) @BooksWithBenghisKahn | Uploaded April 2011 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
Thank you all who have shown me the love on here!

This is an amazing Samoan song from Alo Key...I thought I would give it a try on the uke :)

This box makes it impossible to put the chords up how I want to, so message me if you want me to send them to you...I play in the key of C, but A or G work well too.

I found a translation of the song:

You come here, sit beside me
It's the beginning, of our friendship
The future is coming
For us all to see

For my brothers
Please forgive me
For any wrong, I have done
Please forgive me

You are my brother, this is why I'm asking (for forgiveness)
Because I know you are the only one who can forgive me
The future is coming
For us all to see

Here are the lyrics and chords I used....I am sorry but when I put them in the box the chords don't stay over the right lyrics, but they are in the right order and you can look at the video for when the changes happen...you can always play it in a different key to suit your voice better too.
