Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy Ukulele Tab

Well, it's almost Christmas so now is the perfect time to post the tab I made for my favorite holiday song, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker. This is my first ukulele tab so I apologize if it's not perfect, but I spent a good deal of time transposing the original sheet music, so hopefully this will be pretty close!Please click the link below to open the pdf in a new tab. Thanks for stopping by!

Silver Dagger The Staves Cover Chords

This is not an original song by the Staves, but they definitely have a beautiful version. They also appear to play it slightly different from the traditional chords.

Chords used: C C7 F Bb Gm Dm 

C7                                                F
Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother
                        C7                   Dm
She's sleeping here right by my side
             Bb                          Gm
And in her right hand a silver dagger,
                   Dm  Bb                 C     C7
She says that I     can't be your bride.

C7                                     F
All men are false, says my mother,
                   C7                 Dm
They'll tell you wicked, lovin' lies.
                      Bb                          Gm
The very next evening, they'll court another,
               Dm   Bb                C      C7
Leave you alone    to pine and sigh.


                C7                  F
My daddy is a handsome devil
                C7                   Dm
He's got a chain five miles long,
                   Bb                      Gm
And on every link a heart does dangle
                Dm   Bb                     C          C7
Of another maid    he's loved and wronged.

(chords optional for last verse)

              C7                 F
Go court another tender maiden,
                    C7                   Dm
In hopes that she will be your wife,
                    Bm                   Gm
For I've been warned, and I've decided
              Dm  Bb               C
To sleep alone     all of my life.

The Lakes of Canada Sufjan Stevens

This song is my latest obsession. It was originally written and performed by The Innocence Mission, but I first heard it as a Sufjan Stevens cover on the banjo. The lyrics and melody are simply lovely, and I think it makes for a good ukulele song. 

Chords Used:

INTRO
Dm  F   C   G   x2

Dm

F                   C
Look for me another day
                    G
I feel that I could change,
                    Dm
I feel that I could change.
F                           C
There's a sudden joy that's like
                 G
A fish, a moving light;
                Dm
I thought I saw it
F                      C     G
Rowing on the lakes of Canada

CHORUS
           Dm          
Oh laughing man

Don't tell me what cannot be done.
          Dm               C
My little mouth, my winter lungs
              Am             F
Don't tell me what cannot be done,
              Dm        F            C         G    (2x)   Dm

Talk of loneliness in quiet voices
     G                     Dm

Rowing on the lakes of Canada
F                      C     G

Oh laughing man

Don't tell me what cannot be done.
          Dm               C
My little mouth, my winter lungs
              Am             F
Don't tell me what cannot be done,
