Love this song by Liko Martin and Thor Wold and recorded by Country Comfort. Hope you like my rendition.
Some years ago, Sam and I did a collab on this song, recording it at Moanalua Gardens, but unfortunately it disappeared along with my keonepax channel when I got my third strike during the copyright battle.
I tried to ascertain the correctness of the lyrics and found many different variations online, so in the end, I just went with lyrics that I thought made the most sense. My apologies to the writers for any mistakes.

![Koko ni Sachi Ari (ukulele rendition)
I have an old karaoke video made in Hawaii that features songs that are popular in Hawaii, including this song. The video features Pat Morita, better known as Arnold in Happy Days and Mr. Miyagi in Karate Kid. I decided to use the video and overlay my ukulele rendition of the song. By the way, I noticed that Teddy Tanaka, who had a hit with this song way back when, substituted the word onna (woman) with otoko (man), so I decided to go with that.
Here are the chords I used, but please note that I tuned my ukulele a half-step down to better suit my vocal range:

[Bb] Ame [F7] mo fu[Bb]ru

![Ill Be Around (the Spinners) ukulele cover
I often say 1972 was my favorite year in pop music... so many great tunes from that year, including this one. Hope you like my rendition!

![Human (the Human League) - ukulele rendition
This song was a nice challenge as I try to get back into making ukulele videos. I came up with an idea to try to mash a bit of Broken Wings (by Mr. Mister) at the end of the song. Hope you like my efforts.
[ intro: Gmaj7 A - Bm7 A - D F#m7 ] x2
[Gmaj7] Come on baby dry your [A] eyes [Bm7]

![Got to Get You Into My Life (the Beatles) ukulele cover
Messing around with another visual filter on Snap Camera. This time I found a Paul McCartney filter. Got to Get You Into My Life is a song from the Beatles 1966 Revolver album, and Ive been wanting to try a cover of this song for a while. Hope you like it. I know some people think this kind of video is strange, but I like trying different stuff, so I hope you dont mind the occasional experiment! :)
[ intro: C Bb C / ]
[C] I was alone, I took a ride,
I didnt know what I would [Bb] find there
[C] Another road where maybe I
could see another kind of [Bb] mind there
[Em] Ooh, [G+] then I [G] suddenly [Em7] see you
[Em] Ooh, [G+] did I [G] tell you I [Em7] need you
[F] Every single [Dm7] day [G7] of my [C] life
[C] You didnt run, you didnt lie
You knew I wanted just to [Bb] hold you
[C] And had you gone, you knew in time
wed meet again for I had [Bb] told you
[Em] Ooh, [G+] you were [G] meant to be [Em7] near me
[Em] Ooh, [G+] and I [G] want you to [Em7] hear me
[F] Say well be to[Dm7]gether [G7] every [C] day
[C] Got to get you into my [F] life!
(ba ba ba ba ba [C] baa [Bb] ba ba ba ba ba [C] baa)
[C] What can I do? What can I be?
When Im with you I wanna [Bb] stay there
[C] If Im true, Ill never leave
and if I do I know the [Bb] way there
[Em] Ooh, [G+] then I [G] suddenly [Em7] see you
[Em] Ooh, [G+] did I [G] tell you I [Em7] need you
