Public songbooks
The first 7 songs I learned, each song adds one new chord to your arsenal so you can learn a new chord and have a song to go with it. I worked on these it in this order: Leaving on a Jet Plane, Tom Dooley, Cats in the Cradle, You are my Sunshine, Amazing Grace, Blowin' in the wind, Our God (you could hold off on Blowin' in the wind till the end, it's tricky but a fun one to practice faster changes!) Don't stress about strumming patterns, just have fun!
Daniel Thomas, Bob Dylan, Ugly Kid Joe, John Denver, Hillsong, Misc. Traditional and Traditional
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.
