Mailbox Song Tutorial, Leah's Class
I've had a request for these words. I learned this song in 2nd grade, from my teacher. She played the guitar, and had GREAT songs! I especially liked this one because of the last verse (ice-cream soda and bubble gum) - always food hits it home every time.
I play it in the key of D below, but the key of C (below, following the KEY OF D) works great also, and is any easier key to use for ukelele.
