Ukulele? Anyone?

[rilig]

I'm looking for ukulele tabs of pretty much everything Pinkie Pie sings in Friendship is Witchcraft and in MLP:FIM. Anyone have anything?

Also, I'm just learning soprano ukulele (like, I know C, F, and G7 chords), so if anyone has recommendations of the songs I'm looking or to try first, just give a shout. I'd love to use ponies as a way to learn this instrument.

I don't know any particular songs, but I have a site with some chords:
Chords here. I guess you could find chords to any song and transpose it quite easily.

How exactly do you transpose something to uke? Got any links?

As far as I know, ukulele music is not notated differently from how it sounds, so you do not need to transpose for your instrument at all.

However, as long as you can play only a few chords, you may want to transpose songs to a key you know. With

C, F, G7

you can accompany simple songs in C major. Similarly simple songs in other keys may require any of the following sets of chords:

D♭, G♭, A♭7
D,  G,  A7
E♭, A♭, B♭7
E,  A,  B7
F,  B♭, C7
F♯, B,  C♯7
G♭, C♭, D♭7 (same as previous in equal temperament)
G,  C,  D7
A♭, D♭, E♭7
A,  D,  E7
B♭, E♭, F7
B,  E,  F♯7

So if you encounter a song using the three chords from one of these lines, to transpose to a different key, just replace them with the corresponding chords from another line.

For example, consider Pinkie Pie's Welcome Song from A Friend in Deed. It is written in E♭ major, and a simple accompaniment could look like this:

E♭                                         A♭
Welcome welcome welcome, a fine welcome to you!

A♭              E♭             B♭7
Welcome welcome welcome, I say how do you do?

E♭                                        A♭
Welcome welcome welcome, I say hip hip hurray,

A♭              E♭         B♭7         E♭
welcome welcome welcome to Ponyville today.

If you transpose it down a minor third to C major, you can already play it – just replace E♭, A♭, B♭7 with C, F, G7 respectively:

C                                          F
Welcome welcome welcome, a fine welcome to you!

F               C              G7
Welcome welcome welcome, I say how do you do?

C                                         F
Welcome welcome welcome, I say hip hip hurray,

F               C          G7          C
welcome welcome welcome to Ponyville today.

Notice that transposing a song changes its character, which may or may not be a problem. Also, if you transpose too far, a song may become uncomfortable to sing. Hence, the best longer-term solution is, of course, to learn more chords :-).

And by the way, originally I wanted to use Pinkie Pie's Singing Telegram as an example, but it is already written in C major. So maybe you want to check it out if you haven't already.
