This video is part of our ukulele play-along series, designed to help new ukulele players build confidence and enjoy playing real songs from day one. I also made a brief history video of how African American slaves used this song as a coded message in the Underground Railroad. No complicated theory—just three easy chords in this song, so grab your uke and play along!
