8 ukulele chords used in "Velvet Ring" by Big Thief: B, C, Csus2, Ebaug, Em, G, G7 and Gmaj7
if anyone wants a picking pattern i use:
(1 is G, 2 is C, etc)
Verse:
G: 12343212 Bm: 123 C: 234
and 2343 for each chord in the last verse line!
Chorus: 2343 throughout!!
for the strumming pattern i do DD UDU for (example) the first line with G and then the rest of the sentence D D D!! i hope that helps !! <3
i recommend Cm (one finger on second fret A string)
