This is a superb tune for the beginner on ukulele to learn - Ring Of Fire. Simple to play, a great chugging rhythm and great for a singsong with friends.

[G]Love is a [C]burning [G]thing
And it makes a [C]fiery [G]ring
Bound by [C]wild de[G]sire
I fell into a [D]ring of [G]fire
[D]I fell in to a [C]burning ring of [G]fire
I went [D]down, down, down
And the [C]flames went [G]higher
And it [G]burns, burns, burns
The [C]ring of [G]fire
The [D]ring of [G]fire
[G]The taste of [C]love is [G]sweet
When hearts like [C]ours [G]meet
I fell for you [C]like a [G]child
Oh but the [D]fire went [G]wild
[D]I fell in to a [C]burning ring of [G]fire
I went [D]down, down, down
And the [C]flames went [G]higher
And it [G]burns, burns, burns
The [C]ring of [G]fire
The [D]ring of [G]fire
[G]And it burns, burns, burns
The [C]ring of [G]fire
The [D]ring of [G]fire
thanks! this is great! what strum pattern would you use with this song?
ReplyDeletecandace - I dont really go for strum patterns - I prefer to find my own rhythm!
ReplyDeleteI'm a very new player of the uke, and stumbled on a (oh gosh I'm actually going to type this) "strum, chick-a, strum" to work perfectly with it. Down, down-up, down (repeat) That might make more sense. It sort of matches to the original--to my non-musical ear.
ReplyDeleteBut this was wonderful! I think my wife is impressed. Maybe. That's what an exasperated sigh and rolling eyes mean, right?
nice
