James Hill 2013 005 One Note Samba chords
Start Jamming...
A little bit of jazz never hurt anybody.
So James and I just got married two months ago.
We were only dating for 11 years before we got married.
So speaking of lying in wait
Lying in wait
[G] Be [Am] patient, [G] ladies.
[C] [G] It could happen to you.
[D]
[G] You might just have to wait that [C] long.
It could happen to you.
[Bm] [G]
Speaking of jazz, we're going to play another one of our favorite jazz numbers
by a Brazilian composer named Antônio Carlos Jobim.
This one is famous for having the simplest melody ever written
[N] and some of the most complex chords.
And he put those two together.
It's called the One Note Samba.

[Gm] Everyone knows that the ukulele can play chords,
you know, more than one note [Bm] at a time, like this.
[Db] [A]
[C] [Am] And everyone knows that the [Bb] ukulele can [G] play one note at [Ab] a time, [D] like this.
[E] [G] But not everyone [E] knows that the ukulele can play no [N] notes at a time.
I really make that look easy.
[G] But seriously, no [N] notes at a time, it's just the drum sounds, you know, like this.
[C] Or there's [N] sounds like this.
And yes, [G] it really does hurt your finger.
Just
I'm just saying.
And [Db] there's also the [N] heartbeat of the ukulele.
And that sounds like this.
You put it all together and you get the ukulele drum beat.
[C]
But that is the easy part.
The hard part is [N] keeping the rest of the song going at the same time.
It's just like [Em] musical juggling.
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to try [B] the chords
[Db] [A] and [C] the drums at the same [Em] time.
[B]
[N] [Bb] [Bm]
[Bb] [A] [Bm] [Db] [F]
[Dbm] [Am] [B]
[Bb] [Em] [N] Now the hardest part is to keep the melody [G] going at the same time
as the chords and the drums.
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Up in the top, are you ready?
Am [Bb] I ready?
We're [G] about to find out.
[Dm]
[Am] [Bb] [Dm]
[E] [G]
[Bm] [Gm]
[D] [Gm] [G]
[N]
Ready to go!
