Sara Smile- Daryl Hall & John Oats- Ukulele lesson



After that last post Live from Daryls House - Music Appreciation I really got inspired and want to learn the song Sara Smile on Ukulele. I'm hooked after watching that Hawaiian guy jam out the song and make it sound so good and he made it look so easy too.

Well I know it won't be that easy but I'm ready to give it try. Luckily the same awesome guy make a tutorial on how to play Sara Smile so here it is.

So here are the chords that he's playing (below). He's tuned 1/2 step down for better sound but the chords are the same either way. I watch the video enough times to get all the chords pretty much down (on paper). Now it's time to practice.

*Please let me know if I messed anything up

Opening chords:

Here are the Lyrics (without the chords):

Sara Smile

Baby hair with a woman's eyes
I can feel you watching in the night
All alone with me and
we're waiting for the sunlight
When I feel cold you warm me
When I feel I can't go on
you come and hold me
It's you and me forever

Sara smile
Won't you smile a while for me, Sara

If you feel like leaving
you know you can go
But why don't you stay until tomorrow?
And if you want to be free
you know all you have to do is say so
When you feel cold I'll warm you
And when you feel you can't go on
I'll come and hold you
It's you and me forever

Sara smile
Won't you smile a while for me, Sara
Sara smile
Oh won't you smile a while, Sara

Smile
Oh won't you smile a while, Sara
