Oh and my strumming is : DDUUDU-repeat twice per chord(during verses only.I tend to improvise during the chorus and some other parts)
Hey, would someone be able to explain what the set out of the chords mean?

Thanks.
Which tuning do you use???
I use D D DU DU x2. Works really well.
I am newbee and I really find this website helpful!!! Thanks Pete!!!
i know the song in other way is pretty easy!!!!
this is so easy and fun and cool and awesome and interesting. i hope he makes another song with ukulele cords so i can learn all of the xciting stuff. thanks and good bye. and it was fun talking for a long time so i am gonna go now. so see ya later .
I dont have a strumming pattern, i just do it depending on the way it sounds, but i think C#m is wrong, i use a different chorde and its much simpler but sounds just as good
every body says c#m is wrong but i think its still works fine, i dont see a difference
i like that!
this song is the best song to learn on the uke
to be the same as the orginal u need to tune to B. i know the C#m quite difficult to play
What chord do you guys use instead of C#m? I played it that way and I thought it sounded fine.
cccccccccoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
try it in the key of D. D ,A, Dfm, G. The minor definately works even in the key of E
Pete, that is amazing thankyouuuu! it really helped me.. LUVS my ukulele, GLEE inspired me to play this song haha (GO Blaine!!)
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! it’s amazing. but it is really hard to play. Thank you.
Hey what kind of ukulele do you use?
Hey Soul Sisters (& Brothers),
Thanks for pulling this together. Much appreciated.
Merci from France.
EM
could somone please explain what the white circles are?
THE TUNING OF THE UKE IS A STANDARD TUNING OF
G — C — E — A
(THE G IS A FIFTH HIGHER THAN THE C AND THE E
IS A THIRD HIGHER THAN THE C .THE A IS ONE STEP
HIGHER THAN THE G .
GO TO http://www.get-tuned.com/online_ukulele_tuner.php
google search — uke tuning / its that easy .
white circles mean you don’t press anything..;) the numbers at the bottom are the finger you use to press the strings..your index is 1, followed by middle(2), ring(3) and pinky(4)
Hey guys, those of you who are saying C#m is wrong, instead of playing it like its written at the top, bar the 4th and play an Am. It’s still C#m, but a whole lot easier!
fuck some1 freaking help now (-_-)
fuk this soo hard any other ways of chords that are easy to use???
Thanks this is my fav song now i can play it wen eva i want 2… was a little bit hard at first then i go the hang of…. cheers
thanks for the uke chords,it helps a lot for music interested person like, specially i’m new in our uke club.
LOVE IT!!!:-)
Spot-on mate!
Sorry, I mean spot-on except for the C#m which is probly
6444, as a kind of a bar.
hey i love hey soul sister
hi um i think the c#m is sopoused to be a Db please check your keys
C# and Db are enharmonically the same note, but Db has no function in the key of E Major. Db would lead down to a C, which is not in the key. The use of a Db in the key of E would be a pretty severe modulation.
it’s much easier if you’re using standard tuning to play C, G, Am and F
I LIKE !!!!!! :>
Thank you for chords
“Update: strumming pattern I use
D – D U D U D U | D – D U D U D U”
Does this means i have to use this pattern on one chord?
my band is better than yours
There is an easier way to play the chord you know. There is a way easier one you can find when you go to http://blogs.saschina.org/lauren01pd2019/.
