Chords with lyrics
Tuning: G C E A (G C E A) Key: G Difficulty: Intermediate There are a couple of little things you can do to make this song sound great on the ukulele. One is to reach your thumb around to the A on the high G string to play a Gadd9 (alternate). Or use a pinky reach the 5th fret on the E string (recommended). The other is to remove the F on the E string to make it an Fmaj7. CHORDS: (alt) (recomm.)
