(End) Notes: 1. This version is pitched higher for easy playability, for both Tenor and Soprano ukulele than the recorded version in D#, but can be easily transposed to suit. 2. "...The song is sung from the point of view of man cajoling and bribing the young sister of his girlfriend not not to 'tell on' him about their relationship." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Children_(song) Tempo: Andante moderato
