Level: 2
Tuning: Standard

Though many people know this tune from the medley with "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" that was sung by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, the Hawaiian uke player, it was written for Louis Armstrong, who first recorded it (and had a major hit) in 1967. If you compare this version to Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's hit, you'll notice how much Israel altered the tune, chords and lyrics. The song has an AABA form: an 8-bar phrase is repeated (AA) followed by and 8-bar bridge (B) and another repeat of the A phrase. This arrangement in C is played on the first few frets with easy chords.
