Ok I have put my attempt up and i stress attempt!!  Ukulele as usual for me and vocals definitely not the best on this song for me, i probably should have transposed the chords more suited to my voice.   Made an oops at the end as well, said closen actually instead of chosen, tongue tied ;P

Hmmmm this is one of those thought provoking songs.   I definitely think older people can be over looked, forgotten, not even acknowledged, making them very much invisible.  Some of them with years of experience, expertise, knowledge of many things in life, only to die with them.  Fortunately if we look hard enough,  there are some who  are very much loved, cherished and appreciated .......... it would be wonderful if this was the norm!

Hi Dirty Ed, 
I would suggest for your granddaughter a nice Kala for around that price, you can get a Kala in a normal size or a thin travel size..

Another good brand for ukulele is Lanikai,  (they make a nice tenor too if you wanted to go to a bigger ukulele).

Personally i play mostly soprano or concert size ukulele`s, concert size being my favourite size. 

STRINGS:  Often though as well as a good ukulele to begin with, the main thing is getting decent strings put on.......Aquila strings are excellent for ukulele`s.

Any ladies out there going to have a go at this one? mekidsmom? kimnoble?

I will be .......... just waiting until i get a bit of spare time smile

I have made a recording on sound cloud but I don't know how to get it to transfer to chordie.
Help?

Have posted the link for you Rickyjack above.  All you need to do so you know for next time is on your sound cloud page when you play the song, just highlight it in the web browser at the top, copy it and then paste it here in your post.

Love what you have done with this, harmonica is fantastic smile

Hi all,

I am looking for the chords to this song by Allison Durbin - I Have Loved Me A Man.

I cant find the chords anywhere on the internet, just wondered if there was anyone out there clever enough to be able to work out the chords for me please.

See the link below to hear the song by Allison Durbin.

Thank you Amy smile

Ok and here we go .........

start practicing (or not), get recording, get your version of After the gold Rush up by Neil Young.  Looking forward to hearing everyone's take on this song.  Remember you can make it your own, you don`t have to copy the original if you don`t want to smile
