A while ago on Got A Ukulele, I put up some chords and lyrics for Nursery Rhymes. What really surprised me was that they went on to be some of the most popular posts on the site.

Nursery Rhymes pt3
Or perhaps that shouldn't be so surprising. Playing music with young children is a great way to bond, but nursery rhymes are also excellent songs for beginners to learn with. Think about it - most people already know the tune and the words very well, so that leaves the brain free to concentrate on the ukulele. In the main too they are very easy chord progressions.
Anyway, I thought it about time that I added some more! Enjoy!
