7 ukulele chords used in "Between The Bars" by Elliott Smith: Bb, C7, D, Eb, Ebm, F and Gm7
Transposed this to what it actually should be.
Read the numbers in order from first string (G) to fourth string (A)
The Numeber is what fret you put your finger on when you play a chord.
For example, the chord C would be represented by the numbers 0003.
The four numbers together are the figure positionings for chord.
If you want a fancy strumming patten, I recommend ddudu ddudu, but for the first d switch between plucking the second and first string. It would go second string dudu, first string dudu, repeated for the song. If that’s too much or if my explanation was confusing, just do down down up down up.
