One of the songs we’ve been playing around the house and singing is This is Home by the artist Cavetown. The song has a nice melody, is nice to sing and just plays softly and beautifully. The song has a haunting and beautiful tone to it and it’s pretty easy to play for beginners
To play This is Home on the ukulele, you’ll need the chords Cmaj7, Cm, G, C and Em as well as A and Bm7 for the bridge. You can use a simple strumming pattern that’s mostly downstrokes and fill in as feels right. The chords are diagrammed below and the chords and lyrics immediately after.
