April 2020 update-
A huge Thank You to those who have been supporting the site with donations!
In these troubled times, sharing and making music is more important than ever, and I hope this site is helping in some small way.
I am currently revising this list to fix some broken links and to include the 'new' songs I had posted in the blog but not yet formatted into the lists of songs.
Please keep letting me know (via Send Message -below- or Facebook) if you find any broken links that I've missed.
Enjoy,
Cathy :)

FULL LIST of UKULELE SONGS in alphabetical order
List of Songs: these are the songs I have written out for ukulele - click on the links to open/download a PDF document with full lyrics and ukulele chords, plus chord diagrams. Some songs are in more than one key/level.
See Ukulele Songs page for chord charts, levels and other info.
Opening and/or downloading these song sheets uses bandwidth, which I have to pay for, so if you are using more than half a dozen or so of the sheets, and if you have a few dollars to spare, you may like to donate a little bit to help with the site costs (but please don't feel obligated in any way, the songs are here for you to enjoy).
