Leaving on a jet plane - Ukulele style

There are a handful of songs that everyone should know. On day one of owning an ukulele, I learned five chords: C, G, Am, F and D. The rest would come later.

In my excitement, I reached for a song in my repertoire that was easy to play, easy to sing, and that most people enjoy. It's "Leaving on a Jetplane".

Here is my ukulele version of "Leaving on a Jetplane". I've little patience to sing slowly, and my excitement wouldn't allow me to play it's more classic speed. You may also notice that I can't recall the chords throughout the entire song. All in all, it's a fresh version of an old song. Enjoy!


For anyone interested in the chord progression of "Leaving on a jetplane", I use G, C, G, C, G, C. D.

Other equally simple progression can include, but are not limited to:

C, F and G
A, D and E
E, A and B

Depending on how high or low you sing, you're entitled to use whatever chords you like to play a song. You just have to find which chords go together.

Hope that helps. Have fun!
