use the Cm here or it wont sound quite right the Ab and Gm dont matter
*these Dm are Gm7add9 I think but I dont know that chord on
the uke I substituted Dm for my lack of knowledge.
it stillsounds close enuf for me
** the fill I use here is a switch from A to A7 and then
finishing on Dm 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.
