| Notes: | The kid-friendly, secular take on Dem Dry Bones (see our Dem Dry Bones page for the Ezekiel spiritual version). Point to or wiggle each body part as you sing it, and really shake out your whole skeleton on every "shake dem skeleton bones!" line. Only three chords (C, G, G7), so it is an easy pick for beginning ukulele players. |
