A Dbm D A Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea D A Gbm B7 E7 And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee, A Dbm D A Little jackie paper loved that rascal Puff, D A Gbm B7 E7 And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff.

6 ukulele chords used in "Puff The Magic Dragon" by Peter, Paul and Mary: A, B7, Dbm, D, E7 and Gbm
This was my childhood
this song makes me cry even thinking bout it
Hi, this is a good job on a somewhat complex song.
A note or two of correction:
Dbm and Gbm are not chords on the A scale. Technically speaking these should be C#m and F#m, which are. (same chord, different name) Also, B7 is the wrong chord it should be Bm.
Thus: A, C#m, D, A, D, A, F#m, Bm, E7 is the correct form for the first part.
The second part is the same, but it returns to A at the end. (which you missed) E7 on ‘Fancy’, A on ‘Stuff’ then, (optionally) play E7 on ‘Oh’ to transition to the chorus.
As a note, the song was sung in the key of G by the group, and published for Guitar in G. The following is the correct chord progression in G:
G, Bm, C, G, C, G, Em, Am, D7
G, Bm, C, G, C, G, Em, Am, D7, G
On Uke, however, the A fingerings are easier, if you can sing it that high.
I vote for +3. I am beginner. feeling comfortable with C chord songs atm.
+five sounds really good and is the easiest out of all of them
Hello! Can someone please tell me the strumming pattern they used? Thank you 😀
-4
For baritone uke, I would definitely recommend -2! Especially if you have a higher singing voice like I do! This song is one of my forever favorites
does anyone know the strumming pattern?
-7 also sounds great if you have a lower voice register. I find that the chords are easier as well.
+1 is the original key of the song.
except I don’t use the Dbm
+7 is perfect but it is a little more difficult for the beginners
+7 is perfect but a little more difficult for the beginners
It makes more sense to use C#m and F#m over Dbm and Gbm most because the song is the key of A Major.
This is a really helpful chord set, especially since I am supposed to perform this song, And I didn’t know the chords. As everyone else is saying, 3+ is an easier set of chords, for its the ones that you learn when first starting off on ukulele, and when singing, best fits most vocal ranges.
What does +3 mean
-2.???
Try -3.??? Enjoy!!!
+3 has the easiest cords, but -4 is also fairly easy and it’s in a easier range.
