Chords for 4-Chords Songs Tutorial (ukulele)

_ _ _ _ _ _ Hey guys, so people keep asking me to do a tutorial for my four chords songs on the ukulele,
so I will do that for you. _
It's a basic [C] GCEA tuning on the uke, _ [Am] _ _
[E] and it [F] consists of four chords, like the song says.
It's an F, a C, [C] _ a D minor, [Dm] _ and a B flat.
[Bb] _ So, for the F, you take your first finger, put it on the first fret, second string from
the bottom, and your second finger, second fret, top string.
[F] _ That's your F.
Keep practicing it.
_ _ [C] Your C is one of the easiest chords.
Take your second finger, third fret, bottom string. _ _
_ _ _ Then the D minor, it's a little different, challenging.
First finger, second string, first fret.
Then see these two top strings on the second fret?
Cover them with your second [Dm] finger. _ _
[Bb] In your B flat, you take your first finger on the first fret, bottom two strings, and
then your second finger, second fret, third string, and then your third finger, third
fret, top string. _
_ _ _ _ After [F] you've mastered those four chords, we go to the chucking and the strumming.
_ So I start out with, where is the love?
So this strumming is basically down, chuck, up, up, [C] chuck, down, chuck, up, up, up, chuck,
to the [Dm] D minor, down, chuck, up, up, up, chuck, to the B flat, [Bb] down, chuck, up, up, up, chuck.
So start with the F, _ _ [F] then you go down, chuck, up, up, [C] up, chuck.
C, down, chuck, up, up, up, [Dm] chuck.
D minor, down, chuck, up, up, up, [Bb] chuck.
B flat, down, chuck, up, up, up, chuck.
So after you've mastered [C] the strumming, oh, by the way, for a chuck, you basically take
any part of your hand on your palm, and when you're strumming, you hit the strings to semi-mute
it so it sounds like this.
_ [F] _ _
So you go down, chuck.
[G] _ _ _
So [F] at my pace, _ it will sound like this. _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ So in between, you hear a little adding to the strumming pattern because I just get into the music.
So once you're solid on the basic strumming pattern, you can add some flourishes to work
on the transitions.
So I go, where is the love, [F] Superman, she will be love, no one, and I'm yours.
So let's just sing through, where is the love.
_ Basically you do one cycle of the four without singing, and then you start singing. _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [F] People killing, people [C] dying, can you hear [Dm] the children crying?
Will you practice [Bb] what you preach?
Will you turn [F] the other tree?
Father, father, [C] father, help us, send us guidance [Dm] from above.
People [Bb] got me, got me questioning, where [F] is the love?
Where is [C] the love?
_ [Dm] Where is the love?
[Bb] From father_
_ _ [F] _ That goes to Superman.
Now, for the I'm yours, the strumming pattern is different if you noticed.
It goes like this. _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ Don't worry, I'll slow down.
So it's basically, _ _ [F] down, chuck, up, up, chuck, down, oh, sorry.
Down, chuck, up, up, chuck, up, up, chuck, up, up, [C] chuck, down, chuck, up, up, chuck,
up, up, chuck, up, up, [Dm] chuck, down, chuck, up, up, chuck, up, up, chuck, up, up, [Bb] chuck,
down, chuck, up, up, chuck, up, up, chuck, up, up, chuck,
Okay.
Let's slow that down a little bit more.
_ _ _ _ _ [F]
Down, chuck, up, up, chuck, up,
up, chuck, up, [C] up, chuck,
Key, uh, chord change.
Down, chuck, up, up, chuck, up,
up, chuck, up, up, chuck,
Another chord [Dm] change.
Down, chuck, up, up, chuck, up,
up, chuck, up, up, chuck. Chord change.
[Bb] down, chuck up, up, chuck up, up, chuck up, up, chuck
okay, so, here's how it sounds to I'm [G] Yours
well, [F] you done done me and you bet I felt [C] it
I tried to be true but you're so hot that I'm melting
[Dm] fell right through the cracks
[Bb] now I'm trying to get back
_ [F] for the cool done run I'll be giving it my [C] bestest
nothing's gonna stop me but divine intervention
[Dm] I reckon it's again my turn
[Bb] ooh, some more, but [F] some more I won't _ [C] hesitate
no more, no [Dm] more, this [Bb] cannot wait
I'm sure [F] there's no need to _ [C] complicate
I'll time it [Dm] sure this is [Bb] a fate I'm Yours
[F] _ _
and the end is like this
_ _ [C] basically you hold the F [F] and do whatever
_ and that is your four chord songs
I [B] like to end on I'm Yours because I don't like switching back
to the previous _ strumming
but if you like to, you can
and I hope you guys enjoyed the tutorial
and hope you enjoy playing the four chord songs _ _ _ _
