3 ukulele chords used in "Heavy Foot" by Mon Rovîa: B, E and Gb
[Transpose to -4; capo on 4th fret]
I find finger picking the G on the first and third lines of each verse makes the chords match the vocals better (2 and 4th string together followed quickly by the 3rd string).
Apart from that and strumming up on the first two Gs of the chorus, the song sounds good just strumming down every note).
