How to play Ain’t It Fun on ukulele

The strumming pattern that fits is the funky chunky: d u x u d u x u. Expect a medium pace, around 104 bpm. You are playing it in Db minor. This one leans on trickier shapes, with the chords at the proficient level. Chunk the muted upstrokes to nail that funky bounce under the vocals.

If anyone wants to play the riff at the beginning and through the verse/pre-chorus (in the original key), its
A|—–2h4-2—-2h4-2–
E|-4——–4——–4-
C|—4——–4——–
G|———————

If you want the chords in the chorus to sound a little more like the recorded song, you can play A, C#m, and B like this
A C#m B
A|——————4-4-4-x–2-2-2-x——-
E|——————4-4-4-x–2-2-2-x——-
C|-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1–4-4-4-x–3-3-3-x——-
G|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2–6-6-6-x–4-4-4-x——-

If you want to play the riff at the beginning of the song try….
Fret 1 on G
Then play E alone
And then slide from 5 to 6 on G
For the end of it play 6 an extra time after doing the slide. Hope this helped!

For anyone seeking more of a challenge: add in a B on “around you”, followed by E7 Dbm E7 B after “you” for that little riff from the original song
