Download the La Vie En Rose - Ukulele TAB
Hey UUers!
The year is moving right along and as a little gift for sticking to your New Year's ukulele-resolutions, we've got another episode of Uke Lessons, just for you! Last month, the ukulele was a featured guest on the 200th episode of the CBS show, How I Met Your Mother, when "The Mother" (Cristin Milioti) plays a version of "La Vie En Rose" on the uke. So we've decided to do a nice (read: "even better") arrangement of the song that you can play on your very own ukulele as both an instrumental or as accompaniment.
So check it out and let us know what you think! In the Play-Along video, Aldrine is accompanied by fellow musician, Juno Apalla, who really took one for the team and learned the French version as well, for all you French-speaking UUers, so please be sure to thank her in the comments. Have fun with this one and as always, keep strummin'!
Aloha,

Kiaora Aldrine.
What Ukulele are you using, Concert? Lovely sound. And Juno Apalla I could not get enough of hearing a beautiful voice like hers. Tell Juno to sing more on utube. Juno makes it look all to easy. Me penei te kii, he manu korihi (let me say it like this, a chorus of birds singing). Waiatatia mai (entertain us) Juno. Noho ora mai (Be Well)
wonderful song !
Congrats

Great, but tab in pdf will be greater
