# This song is chords but I have made it as a tab as it is hard to explain the # weird strumming. Strum this, don't pick it, despite there only being two notes at # a time. Put a capo on the first fret for this song.

A A| 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 3 3 2 2

I don't think this person knows how to write tabs. If you're supposed to strum and not pick, the open strings should be indicated with a "0" unless you're just strumming the 2 fingered strings shown for each part/chord, in which case you could pick simultaneously for more or less the same effect...

Anyway this sounds somewhat like the song but it's an incomplete tab. Here are the chords used (you must tune your uke up a half step, which is easy to accomplish with a tuner or online tuner if you haven't done it before):

For ukelele tuned a 1/2 step up (G# C# E# A#)

Am: 2003
D7: 2223
G: 0232
C: 0003
C/B: 0002

I got that information from Ultimate Guitar, but at least it is a bit more accurate, hope that helps someone!


(And I do not mean to be condescending... some tabs I posted here and elsewhere back in the day are pretty inaccurate themselves, but this one isn't really a tab for the song at all so I thought I would help to clarify.)

I don't know what the first chord is, but the second one is D7? I think, the third one G, the fourth C, and the fifth a C7
