Ukuleles come in a variation of tuning, the most common of which is GCEA, G being the third highest of the four. In order to play "Keep the Car Running", the C string must be tuned to a B, which is one fret/half tone down. This can be achieved by tuning the fifth fret on the C string to the open E string. In this tuning, the chords are as follows: D5: 2350 (ADAA) Gadd9: 0335 (GDGD); alternatively, you can play this chord as Gadd9/B: 0035 (GBGD) Asus4: 2300 (ADEA) D5/C#: 2250 (AC#AA) D5/B: 2050 (GBEA) G: 0332 (GDGB) If, for one reason or another, you would like to play the song in standard (GCEA) tuning, here are the chords: D5: 2250 (ADAA) Gadd9: 0235 (GDGD); alternatively, you can play this chord as Gadd9/B: 0035 (GBGD) Asus4: 2200 (ADEA) D5/C#: 2150 (AC#AA) D5/B: 2(-1)50 (GBEA) unless you possess some ungodly fretboard which allows you go to lower than the open string, this chord is impossible :) Maybe just play it as 2x50, muting the C string. G: 0232 (GDGB) Intro is a strum/picking variation of D5
