Ukes4Fun Songbook - pdf versions in a better format can be found here: Http://ukes4fun.org.uk/songsheets/ The songs have been grouped in books around the members who regularly lead the singing. There is no other deliberate theming and the contents are quite varied. The songs are as we play and sing them - though they all bear at least a passing resemblance to the originals and should be recognisable. The level of difficulty also varies within each book. There are probably some mistakes as well.

Growing up with the Beatles, Stones, etc., and picking up the guitar as an adolescent, I felt incapable and unworthy of even attempting to play the songs of my heroes. As I grew older, I went back to the songs of my youth and was flabbergasted to see just how "playable" those "untouchable" songs really were. It also gave me an added appreciation of just how unique those artists really were. Now in my 50's, it amuses me to see how kids nowadays eat the Beatles, Stones, Hendrix, etc. up as if they were brand new. My latest interest involves browsing YouTube for "cover songs", especially ones by established bands covering other established bands. One good example: Red Hot Chili Peppers. Those guys have their own inimitable style, but some of their covers (I Get Around, Brandy, Castles Made of Sand) show me that they also appreciate and recognize a good song regardless of it's era.
