Intro
| [C] | [C] | [C] | [C!]
I was on my | [C] own... | . feeling sad and | [G7] blue |
| [G7] . When I met a | friend... | . who knew just what to | [C] do |
| [C] . On her little | uke... | [C7] . she began to | [F] play | [F]
And | [C] then I knew I'd | [G7] buy a uke that | [C] day | [C!]
Chorus
Blame it on the uku- | [G7] lele... | . with its magic | [C] spell |
| [C] . Blame it on the uku- | [G7] lele... | . that she played so | [C] well |
| [C7] . Oh it all began with | [F] just one little | chord
But soon it was a | [C] sound we all a- | dored
Blame it on the uku- | [G7] lele... | [G7!] . the sound of | [C] love | [C!]
Bridge
Is it a gui- | [G7] tar? (No no a | ukulele)
Or a mando- | [C] lin? (No no a | ukulele)
So was it the | [G7] sound? (Yeah yeah the | ukulele) |
| [C] . The [F] sound of | [C!] love
Now I'm glad to | [C] say... | . I have a fami- | [G7] ly |
| [G7] . Soprano tenor | bass... | . ev'ry ukule- | [C] le |
| [C] . All my friends play | uke... | [C7] . and I'm never | [F] blue | [F]
So | [C] join our band and | [G7] you can play one | [C] too | [C!]
Come and play the uku- | [G7] lele... | . with its magic | [C] spell |
| [C] . Come and play the uku- | [G7] lele... | . that you played so | [C] well |
| [C7] . Oh it all began with | [F] just one little | [F] chord
But soon it was a | [C] sound we all a- | dored
Blame it on the uku- | [G7] lele... | [G7!] . the sound of | [C] love | [C!]
Bridge
Is it a gui- | [G7] tar? (No no a | ukulele)
Or a mando- | [C] lin? (No no a | ukulele)
So was it the | [G7] sound? (Yeah yeah the | ukulele)
| [C] . The [F] sound of | [C!] love Cha Cha Cha
