Daily Ukulele: Smells like personal triumph

This has been a personal project of mine on and off since this spring. I've finally come up with ukulele-friendly tabs for "Sigh No More, Ladies" from Kenneth Branagh's excellent Much Ado About Nothing. The only tabs I'd been able to find were for guitar, but after some tooling around, I've come up with the following. I think it sounds pretty good!

"Sigh No More, Ladies," words by William Shakespeare, music by Patrick Doyle

...then sigh not so
but let them go
and be you blithe and bonny
converting all
your sounds of woe
into hey, nonny, nonny

VERSE TWO:
sing no more ditties, sing no more
of dumps, so dull and heavy
the fraud of man was ever so
since summer first was leafy
so sigh not so, but let them go
and be you blithe and bonny
converting all your sounds of woe
into hey, nonny, nonny.

You can download a PDF here; sorry the above isn't text-only, but the formatting wasn't holding in terms of spacing out the lyrics with the notes. If anyone wants the plain text (RTF), drop me a line. If the formatting isn't making sense either, let me know. Happy Monday, gang!
