The ukulele (/juːkəˈleɪli/ yoo-kə-LAY-leefrom Hawaiian: ʻukulele [ˈʔukuˈlɛlɛ] (oo-koo-leh-leh); variant: ukelele)[1] is a member of the lute family of instruments. It generally employs four nylon or gut strings or four courses of strings.[2][3] Some strings may be paired in courses, giving the instrument a total of six or eight strings.
The ukulele originated in the 19th century as a Hawaiian adaptation of the Portuguese machete,[4] a small guitar-like instrument, which was introduced to Hawaii by Portuguese immigrants, mainly from Madeira and the Azores. It gained great popularity elsewhere in the United States during the early 20th century and from there spread internationally.
The tone and volume of the instrument vary with size and construction. Ukuleles commonly come in four sizes: soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone.
So, the chords indicated on this book is for the SOPRANO TYPE UKULELE. I did not try to play these songs & lyrics on other types of ukulele kasi, i only had one which is the soprano type. You can try to play this songs on the other types of ukulele but I cannot assure you that it will be the same or it will sound right.
