Ukulele Players - Hui-a-Tau
Kia ora Ukulele Players!
Hui a Tau is fast approaching so we have put together some ideas for songs we can play together.
Attached below are three songs with chords to get us started. (Bluesmoke, Pearlyshells, You are my Sunshine).
We will also be doing all of the old favourites and they will be 3 chords and easy to play.
Below is a list of some we will also be playing…
- Pa Mai
- Mihi Manurere
- Hoki Hoki Tonu Mai
- Maori Battalion
- Blue Lady
- Kentucky Moon
- Sticky Beaked Kiwi
- Under the Harbour Sun
- Show me the way to go home
- Side by Side
- Bye bye Blackbird
- and others
Practice the three and the rest will fall into place!
See you all at Hui a Tau.

The waiata to concentrate on are:
- Turaka Tapuwae
- Te Kopu Uriuri
