Chords with lyrics
Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)
Getting Better - The Beatles (Sgt. Peppers)
This song is perfect for ukulele because it uses a high G "drone" string throughout.
G = 0232
Em = 0432
Fsus2 = 0533
C = 0433
Suggest playing G using a barre on the 2nd fret across the C E A strings plus
the middle finger on the 3rd fret of the E string.
Then, where C follows a G chord, slide the barre up to the third fret and
simultaneously hammer on the middle finger on the 4th fret of the C string.
