Orange Blossom Special - The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain chords
Start Jamming...
Dave, of course, usually sings songs that have got a rock kind of edge.
Well, not usually, but some of the time.
And it's a bit of a trial for me
because he's doing all these Jimi Hendrix-type riffs on the ukulele.
And I'm stuck with the light classical repertoire I see here in the middle.
And I'd really like to get on down with the kids
and play some rock riffs myself
and really let my hair down.
That's the thing, you know.
I think, actually, George, your hair has let you down.
You
[Bm] see what I've got to work with.
Anyway, let's have a go at this.
I'm going to have a go at some rock riffs in this.
I mean, I don't know whether it's the right tune for it.
It's sort of like a [Em] bit of a Johnny Cash-type tune.
But, you know, he's a rocker, really, isn't he?
[N]
I don't know where we're going with this.
It's a very complicated Johnny Cash song.
And it's five beats in the bar.
Five crotchets to the measure.
Here it is.
One, two, three, four, five.
[C]
Hey, look, yonder comin'
Down a railroad track
[F] Hey, look, yonder comin'
Comin' down a [C] railroad track

Is that better?
I'm going down to Melbourne
To get some sand in my shoes
[F] Or maybe over to the Sydney Opera House
To get some sand [C] in my shoes
And [G] ride that Orange Blossom special
To drive away these [C] ukulele blues
