      I like your channels. Can you get a new ukulele and play it because I want you to play it now and can you ask someone to? Can you do a different video without a ukulele? Because I want to see you without the ukulele with and it’s it’s fun. Make a make you bye bye-bye good night Peace out😊 I like I love your channels bye

    Hi Ricky, i have been an occasional uke player but never mastered the combination of strumming and singing. I coincidentally came across one of your videos a while a ago and ever since I have been following you and watching your videos and this is one of my all time favourite songs. Seeing in the notification preview that it was only the f, a, c and g chords I couldn't wait to go home and watch this video. You have done an excellent job as always and have pushed me over the edge to tear down the wall and learn to sing and strum as I want to play this so badly. Thank you for your work in helping people like myself to play this beautiful instrument and keep doing what you are doing.

    I used to rule the world
    Seas would rise when I gave the word
    Now in the morning, I sleep alone
    Sweep the streets I used to own
    I used to roll the dice
    Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
    Listen as the crowd would sing
    Now the old king is dead, long live the king
    One minute, I held the key
    Next the walls were closed on me
    And I discovered that my castles stand
    Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
    I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
    Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
    Be my mirror, my sword and shield
    My missionaries in a foreign field
    For some reason, I can't explain
    Once you'd gone, there was never, never an honest word
    And that was when I ruled the world

    Hello, Ricky! I stumbled across your videos while I was looking for ukulele tutorials and I really enjoy watching them. I haven't played the ukulele in years because my first one, a beautiful Cordoba ukulele, got swapped with someone else's and was brought to another province in the Philippines. I didn't know the stranger's name and I had no way of contacting him. I felt heartbroken because it was my first and I really saved up for it. That was in 2016 and I hadn't touched a ukulele since. Now, I'm eagerly waiting for my new ukulele to arrive so I can practice the songs you teach through the videos. Learning through your videos which have several songs that I love and have easy chords gives me confidence to play again. Thank you so much and keep playing! 💗

    I bought this ukulele on prime day, but since I live in europe I could only collect it at Christmas when I was visiting family. I couldn’t resist the super cheap price but I wasn’t sure if it would be as good as it sounds in videos. It was my best purchase ever :) I replaced the strings with worth brown and it is my absolute favourite ukulele

    For some reason, I can't explain
    Once you'd gone, there was never
    Never an honest word
    And that was when I ruled the world
    It was a wicked and wild wind
    Blew down the doors to let me in
    Shattered windows and the sound of drums
    People couldn't believe what I'd become
    Revolutionaries wait
    For my head on a silver plate
    Just a puppet on a lonely string
    Oh, who would ever wanna be king?
    I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'
    Roman cavalry choirs are singin'
    Be my mirror, my sword and shield
    My missionaries in a foreign field
    For some reason, I can't explain
    I know Saint Peter won't call my name
    Never an honest word
    But that was when I ruled the world (play Am again)
    Oooooohh ohhhh ohhhohohohoh
    Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'
    Roman cavalry choirs are singin'
    Be my mirror, my sword and shield
    My missionaries in a foreign field
    For some reason, I can't explain
    I know Saint Peter won't call my name
    Never an honest word
    But that was when I ruled the world...
