Jim Boggia - Within You Or Without You on Ukulele

I do like Jim's stuff, and here is his take on the Beatles Within You Or Without You from the Sgt Pepper LP on ukulele.

This is actually a fairly straightforward pattern, but the real skill here is how he is keeping that complex finger roll picking pattern going so steadily. Be sure to check out his other videos too.

You Can't Do That - Beatles - Ukulele Chords

Surprised at how little I have played the Beatles on ukulele (considering they are a favourite band) - so here goes with this one - a favourite of mine from the Hard Days Night album. Easy to play too - just need to get it rock and rolling.

Video at the end to which you can play along to.


YOU CAN'T DO THAT - THE BEATLES

[G7]
I got something to say that might cause you pain
If I catch you talking to that boy again
I'm gonna [C7]let you down
And leave you [G7]flat
Because I [D7]told you before, [C7]oh you can't do [G7]that [D7]

Well, it's the [G7]second time I've caught you talking to him
Do I have to tell you one more time, I think it's a sin
I think I'll [C7]let you down (Let you down)
And leave you [G7]flat (Gonna let you down and leave you flat)
Because I've [D7]told you before, [C7]oh You can't do [G7]that

Everybody's [B]greee [Em]een
Cos [Am]I'm the one who [B]won your [G]love
But if they'd [B]seeee [Em]een you[Am] talking that way they'd [Bm]laugh in my [D]face

So [G7]please listen to me, if you wanna stay mine
I can't help my feelings, I'll go out of my mind
I'm gonna [C7]let you down (Let you down)
And leave you [G7]flat (Gonna let you down and leave you flat)
Because I've [D7]told you before, [C7]oh You can't do [G7]that, [D7]

Instrumental (with 'You Can't Do That' backing vocals)

G7       C7     G7      D7 C7     G7


Everybody's [B]greee [Em]een
Cos [Am]I'm the one who [B]won your [G]love
But if they'd [B]seeee [Em]een you[Am] talking that way they'd [Bm]laugh in my [D]face

So [G7]please listen to me, if you wanna stay mine
I can't help my feelings, I'll go out of my mind
I'm gonna [C7]let you down (Let you down)
And leave you [G7]flat (Gonna let you down and leave you flat)
Because I've [D7]told you before, [C7]oh You can't do [G7]that.
