(Ukulele). The Ultimate Ukulele Fake Book comes with hundreds of songs to strum, and a whole lot of history. Dating back to the 1940s, jazz musicians used "fake books" for their nightly gigs. These books contained basic melodies or chords the cliff notes of full compositions enough for musicians to "fake" their way through a song. Now ukulele players have an all-in-one resource for auditions, gigs, jam sessions, or simply playing at home. Written in standard G-C-E-A tuning, The Ultimate Ukulele Fake Book is a must-have for any uke enthusiast looking to expand their repertoire. It's bound with a plastic comb so it can lay flat on your music stand. Each song is curated with melody, lyrics, and chord diagrams for quick-learning and easy-playing. Featuring contemporary hits and favorites spanning the last several decades, this book has a little bit of everything. Strum and sing along to songs such as: Ain't Misbehavin' * All My Loving * Are You Lonesome Tonight? * Bewitched * Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy * Brown Eyed Girl * Cecilia * Counting Stars * Crazy * Creep * Dancing Queen * Defying Gravity * Downtown * Fields of Gold * Five Hundred Miles * God Only Knows * Graceland * Happy * Hello * Hey Jude * I Feel Fine * I Saw the Light * I'm Yours * Just the Way You Are * Let Her Go * Let It Go * The Lion Sleeps Tonight * Misty * Only You (And You Alone) * Please Mr. Postman * Riptide * The Scientist * Summertime * Thinking Out Loud * Thriller * Unchained Melody * Under the Boardwalk * Walkin' After Midnight * Why Can't We Be Friends * You Belong to Me * and more.
