use the Cm chordCm here or it wont sound quite right the Ab chordAb and Gm chordGm dont matter

*these Dm chordDm are Gm7add9 chordGm7add9 I think but I dont know that chord on
the uke I substituted Dm chordDm for my lack of knowledge.
it stillsounds close enuf for me

** the fill I use here is a switch from A chordA to A7 chordA7 and then
finishing on Dm chordDm which starts the next verse in all 3 cases.

Once again I just dont know what the actual fill is so I
improvise something easy that works well enuf

if any one comes up with these let me know - Topher

I don't know what the chord would be called, but for the Dm*, I think it sounds better if you also play the bottom A sting on the first fret... Great job in everything else! Really great.
