I love this! Thanks!
I’m just learning the ukulele and after i figured out that awful E I got this song! I love it!!!!!!
Transpose to -2 and it’ll be easier! :D

Try doing the E chord like this:
[o][o][o][o]
[o][o][o][o]
[o][o][o][o]
[x][x][x][o] (4th Fret – barre index finger)
[o][o][o][o]
[o][o][o][o]
[o][o][o][x] (pinky finger)
Works better for me.
[o][o][o][o]
[o][o][o][x](index finger)
[o][o][o][o]
[x][x][x][o] (4th Fret – barre thumb)
is actually a better bet.
and for the D chord you should barre with the thumb too! it works much better
If you change the song and have it go up 3 half steps it is a million times easier to play, this key also feels easier to sing with.
If you use E7 instead of E it is a lot easier (also I think it sounds better).
E chord
the lazy way
1 M 0 2
i dont put my finger on tne 4 fret i just mute the string cause the string below is the same note
am i wrong ?
If you play E7 instead of E it’s easier and doesnt affect the song.
I sometimes play this song with C, Am, F, G7, C if I don’t feel like playing E
Love love love love Love it!! The first I can sing and play at the same time. Picked up a uke for the first time three weeks ago and I’m hooked!
I play it E7 btw – Enjoy the flow without the pain!
Oh forget all those cords. Replace them in this order on the song. C, Am, F, G
