So Relax

Nice easy going song: So Relax. Performed by Leon Redbone: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon_Redbone
He's been around forever, and recently performed  "Baby, It's Cold Outside" with Zooey Deschanel for the closing credits of Elf (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi_0D0Jqlfc)

Here's this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9XHmcFRNbU

F          Dm   C7

F                                  A7
Any time you choose, kick off your shoes,
F                                         F9                         D7
Rest your weary eyes and catch up with the news;
   Bb                         G7           F                C7    
A favorite book will be the perfect company
     F     Dm7   Bb   C7
So relax.

F                           F7                    A7
Forget about the blues -- you're doin' fine.
F                                 F7          D7
Leave your cares and worries far behind,
Bb                      G7             F               C7
Loosen up your tie, let the world speed by,
F          Dm   C7
Relax.

(Bridge:)

Am7                                   D7
Life, with all its troubles, starts to get you down?
Bb
Laugh, and kick your heels up
        C7            D7 G7    C7
And turn yourself  a - round.

F                                  A7
Any time you choose, kick off your shoes,
F                          F7            D7
Rest your weary eyes and catch up with the news;
 Bb                            G7      F                C7
A favorite book will be the perfect company
        F   Dm7  Bb   C7    F
So relax.

Play verse without singing then repeat bridge and first verse. And Relax.

Dinah, is there anything finah?

Dinah!

Dates back to 1923, introduced by Eddie Cantor in Kid Boots. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinah_(song))
Here's the Cliff Edwards (Ukulele Ike) version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00CN3zdLYv4
I've it in the key of G, So here's the Revellers doing their version in that key (I think) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MOkCWla_ao
Chord charts here: http://www.traditionalmusic.co.uk/chords/chords-uke-c-ds.htm
Strum it in a chickaboom, syncopated rhythm: one TWO three FOUR, or one AND two AND three AND four if you prefer. Nice and fast. Easier to get the rhythm here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SY_tyxMnvHU

G            D7
Carolina gave me Dinah,
 G   E7   A7                                      D7
I'm the proudest one beneath the Dixie sun,
 G                           Bm      E7
News is spreadin' 'bout a weddin'.
D  Bm  Em                          A7                            D7
I hear church bells ringin', Here's the song my heart keeps sing-in':

G                                   G#dim                          Am
Dinah, is there anyone finer in the state of Carolina,
D7                           G    G#dim   Am               D7
If there is and you know her---, show her to me?
G                                         G#dim                      
Dinah, with her Dixie eyes blazin',
                                    Am  D7                                G
How I love to sit and gaze into the eyes of Dinah Lee.

Em                Eb+         Em7
Every night, why do I shake with fright?
Em6              Em                 A7                                 D7    D#7  D7
Because my Dinah might change her mind about me.
G                                        G#dim                                                                
Dinah, if she wandered to China,
                                   Am     D7                              G  C7  G
I would hop an ocean liner, just to be with Dinah Lee.

Play kazoo or hum Dinah, is there anything finer etc, then sing verses again.
