‘Fresh Nuts’

Battle Hymn Of The Republic

C C7

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord

F C

He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored

Am

He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword

Dm G7 C

His truth is marching on

C C7

Glory glory hallelujah

F C

Glory glory hallelujah

Am

Glory glory hallelujah

Dm G7 C

His truth is marching on

C C7

I have seen Him in the watch fires of a hundred circling camps

F C

They have buildteth Him an altar in the evening dews and damps

Am

I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps

Dm G7 C

His day is marching on

Repeat chorus ending ‘his day is marching on’ (rather than his truth is marching on)

Further opt. verses

I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:

"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal";

Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,

Since God is marching on. (chorus)

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;

He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat;

Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! Be jubilant, my feet!

Our God is marching on. (chorus)

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,

With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me.

As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,

While God is marching on. (chorus)

Lord Of The Dance for Ukulele Key:G Level 1 (G, D7)

G / 1. I danced in the morning when the world was begun,

D7 / And I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun,

G / And I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth D7 G

At Bethle-hem I- had my birth.

(G) /

Chorus: Dance- then -wherever you may be;

/ D7

I am the Lord of the Dance said He, G / And I'll lead you all - wherever you may be,

D7 G And I'll lead you all - in the dance said He.

(G) /

2. I danced for the scribe, and the Phari-see D7 /

But they would not dance , and they wouldn't follow me, G /

I danced for the fishermen, for James and John D7 G They came with me, and the dance went on.

(G) /

3. I danced on the Sabbath, and I cured the lame D7 /

The ho-ly people said it was a shame G /

They whipped me and stripped me and hung me high D7 G And they left me there- on a cross to die.

(G) /

4. I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black D7 /

It's hard to dance with the devil on your back G /

They bur-ied my body and they thought I'd gone D7 G But I am the dance and I still go on.

(G) /

5. They cut me down and I leapt up high D7 /

I am the life that will never, never die G /

I'll live in you - if you'll live in me D7 G

I am the Lord of the Dance said He.

From: Richard G’s Ukulele Songbook www.scorpexuke.com

Intro: [G] [D] [Em] [C] [G] [D] [C] [C]

[G] Headed down south to the [D] land of the pines

And I'm [Em] thumbin' my way into [C] North Caroline

[G] Starin' up the road and [D] pray to God I see [C] headlights

I [G] made it down the coast in [D] seventeen hours

[Em] Pickin' me a bouquet of [C] dogwood flowers

And I'm a [G] hopin' for Raleigh I can [D] see my baby to[C]night

Chorus: So [G] rock me mama like a [D] wagon wheel

[Em] Rock me mama any [C] way you feel

[G] Hey [D] mama [C] rock me [C]

[G] Rock me mama like the [D] wind and the rain

[Em] Rock me mama like a [C] south-bound train

[G] Hey [D] mama [C] rock me [G] [D] [Em] [C] [G] [D] [C] [C]

[G] Runnin' from the cold [D] up in New England

I was [Em] born to be a fiddler in an [C] old time string band

My [G] baby plays the guitar [D] I pick a banjo [C] now

Oh the [G] North country winters keep a [D] gettin' me

And I lost my [Em] money playin' poker so I [C] had to up and leave

But I [G] ain't a turnin' back to [D] livin' that old life [C] no more

Repeat Chorus [G] [D] [Em] [C] [G] [D] [C] [C]

[G] Walkin' to the south [D] out of Roanoke

I caught a [Em] trucker out of Philly had a [C] nice long toke

But [G] he's a headed west from the [D] Cumberland Gap

To [C] Johnson City Tennessee

And I [G] gotta get a move on [D] fit for the sun

I hear my [Em] baby callin' my name

And I [C] know that she's the only one

And [G] if I die in Raleigh at [D] least I will die [C] free

Repeat Chorus [G]
