Ok I transposed the riff from guitar to ukulele and it should be something like this only on the 2 first chords
C : 2-2-3-4—4—4-4-3-2—-2-2—–2-3-4
G :————-0—0————2——-2———–
And repeat it
I transposed it quickly so there might be mistakes

+2 for the intro/riff to actually match up with the chords for the rest of the song

I didn’t have a problem with this tab Yes, the chord changes are slightly off, but they always are. Also, the riff tab is probably the easiest version to be found. The tab is a guide, not a score.

If it helps, the timing or whatever (it’s tabbed so badly, I know), it works like “(Em) Come as you (D) are, as you (Em) were, as I (D) wanted you to”

in addition to it sounding off it is also tabbed poorly the chords are not where they should be in relation to the lyrics of the song.
