Chords for James Hill Ukulele

Scotia!
_ Thanks so much.
It's a real pleasure to be back here again.
[B] And, uh, I brought_
Thank you.
_ [Am] I brought a little, [F#m] uh, a little [B] gift with me in the form of, uh,
a little bit [A#] of party music from where [D] I'm from.
In [B] Nova Scotia they call a kitchen party, [F#] they call it a kelly.
[E] And at a kelly you [Bm] would hear a lot of, uh, fiddles playing.
You would hear [G] quite a number of ukuleles.
There's more ukulele than you would [Gm] imagine is, [Bm] uh, is played in Nova Scotia, Canada.
[F#] So I'm gonna, I'm gonna start with a couple of tunes here as soon as [F#m] we get this, uh, ukulele on.
I'm gonna start with a couple of tunes, uh, from Nova Scotia.
Fiddle tunes, traditional dance [A#] pieces.
Let's not forget_
_ _ Let's not forget what, [C#] uh, Danny said, that the ukulele really [B] is a world traveler by nature.
_ Let me try another cable here, guys. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ Here we are. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] So here's a couple of, uh, a couple [A#] of dance tunes from where I come from.
A little [B] musical gift from Canada.
First one is a jig called [F] Smash the Window.
The [E] second one is a reel called St.
Andrea.

[D] _ _ [Dm] _ _ Now in some parts of Canada, especially northern Nova Scotia, Cape Breton,
and in some parts of, uh, French-speaking Canada,
they have a type of foot tapping they call,
which means literally, the rhythm of the feet.
And this is, uh, something I've been really interested in lately.
I'm gonna try it here.
I've been practicing it for months.
Just the feet [D] alone took me a few months to, uh, to get into the groove here.
Now do we have on the sound, do we have that microphone that's down by my feet there? _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Now just the feet on their own sound like this.
_ [G#] _ _ _ [C] _ Now that took me a little [A#m] while.
I know it looks easy, you know.
Go ahead, go ahead, try it, try it. _ _ _
_ [Em] _ Took me about three months to get that piece down, see?
And now the old-time fiddlers, you know, the ones who could [F#] play the fiddle
and do [E] the foot tapping at the same time,
they used to say those old guys had made a deal [A#] with the devil.
[B] _ Because they could do both at the same time,
and nobody [N] should be able to do both of those things at the same time.
You know, I don't think they made a deal with [F#] the devil.
I have a different theory, and that is that, uh,
I think men just have two [B] brains.
See?
_ _ [F#] Never mind.
_ [E] _ _
_ [B] Okay.
I'm going to try this now.
I've been practicing long enough, I think I'm ready to try this in public.
_ Okay, the feet _ and the hands at the same time.
_ Kind of like rubbing your belly and tapping your head, only a lot [D] harder. _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ There you have it.
[N] A little party music from back home. _ _ _
