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
