About the 20th take of me trying to record this song.A big thank you to MuslinTree for the guitar chords to this song. I tried to simplify the chords for ukulele, but I might have gotten them wrong. Muslintree's version is great. Please check it out.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PieJJEFk48[D] I never [G] dreamed you'd leave in [D] summer[G][D] I thought you would [G] go then come back [E] home[Em7] I thought the [B7] cold would leave by [Em7] summer [Em6]But my [C7] quiet nights will [B7] be spent a[Em]lone [A7][D] You said there would [G] be warm love in [D] springtime [G][D] That was when you [G] started to be [E] cold[Em7] I never [B7] dreamed you'd leave in [Em7] summer [Em6]But [C7] now I find my[B7]self all a[Em]lone [B7][E] You said then you'd [A] be the life in [E] autumn [A][E] Said you'd be the [A] one to see the [F#] way[F#m7] I never [Db7] dreamed you'd leave in [F#m7] summer [F#m6]But [D7] now I find my [Db7] love has gone a[C7b9]way [B7] Why didn't you stay?

MuslinTree Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - You did great translating to ukelele. It appears I played it in the key of G. D probably was the original key from the record. But very few of us can sing high like Stevie. By the way, I'll visit his concert next sunday in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

Nov 19, 2008 - Thanks, Laurie! Stevie Wonder songs are challenging and I can't possibly do them justice, but I'm a big fan. I just have to try!
keonepax Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - Thanks, man!
keonepax Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - Ha ha! Actually, I DO think I sing better with those glasses on.
keonepax Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - You've got to listen to Stevie Wonder's recording. Joan Baez does a beautiful rendition of it. And check out MuslinTree's version on YouTube!Hard to explain that strum I use. I strum with the pointer, but throw in a little thumb action on the top strings. It sounds good on a low-G ukulele.
