Tuning: G C E A
This song is more than just power chords! It sounds better when you play full chords on the uke, anyway. Also, I included the solo and interlude. [CHORDS] D A G B A|--0--0--2--1-----| E|--2--0--3--1-----| C|--2--1--2--2-----| g|--2--2--0--3-----| For the bridge, we play the G-D-A differently to simulate the synth. G is the same but the D and the A use the G shape up the neck. I'll denote with an * G D* A* A|--2--9--4--| E|--3--10-5--| C|--2--9--4--| g|--x--x--x--| In the chorus, where it goes A BB A B A after "Jessie's girl!", if you aren't fast enough to change from A to B, just play it like this:
A|--Ax-Bx-Bx-Ax--Bx-Ax--| E|--x-x-x-x--x-x--| C|--1-3-3-1--3-1--| g|--2-4-4-2--4-2--|
Finally, the interlude replicates the chorus riff but lower: we'll slide into G# here
A|-F#-1--G#3--| E|--2--4--| C|--1--3--| g|--3--5--|
In the verse, play each chord twice. Like this: DD-AA-BB (brief pause) GG-AA-DD [Intro] D D - A A - B B (brief pause) G G - A A - D D D D - A A - B B (brief pause) G G - A A - D D [Verse 1]
