6 Chords used in the song: Am, E7, G, C, A7, D7
←
I transposed this from a guitar tab and it sounds great on uke! There are a lot of variations on the chords but I grabbed the ones that I thought were easiest to play on the uke.
So here's the tab.
Intro:
A|-5-5-3-3-2-2-1-1-|-0-0-------------|
E|-----------------|-----3-3-1-1-0-0-|
C|-----------------|-----------------|
G|-----------------|-----------------|
Here are the chords (I found these on Ultimate-Guitar.com, so all credit goes to the original author, original post at: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/k/kinks/sunny_afternoon_ver2_crd.htm)
Intro Am Am E7 E7 Am Am E7 E7
^This can be played over the intro tab with a second uke if you want
