Chords for Coolio - Gangsta's Paradise - Ukulele Tutorial - Easy Chords & Strumming Pattern

[C] We've been [Am] spending most our [B] lives living [Em] in the gangster's paradise
[C] [Am] We've been spending most our lives [B] living in the [Em] gangster's [C] paradise
Tell [Am] me why are we [B] so [Em] blind to see
[C] That the [Am] ones we hurt [B] are [Em] you and me
[C] Hey [Am] guys, I'm Vasco from [B] youkulelercheese.com
Today we're making [Em] Gangster's Paradise [C] by Coolio
Part of [Am] my hip hop classic [B] series
[Em] So this is a simple song, we only have 4 [C] chords
And [Am] we're repeating them throughout [B] the whole song
So the [Em] original is [Ab] G sharp, F minor, [G] G, [Cm] C minor
[Ab] _ _ [Fm] _ [G] _
_ [Cm] _ [C] However I'll show you how to play it more easily
We'll start from C, [Am] then A minor, [B] then B, [Em] then E minor
Alright, so let me show you the chords a little bit closer now
Alright, so we need the chord of C, [C] _ _ then we need [Am] the chord of A minor
For this song I'm grabbing it with my pointing finger
Because after that we need the chord of B
And I'm barring the last 2 strings, the A and E string with the pointing finger
It's just easy for the pointing finger to go from the A minor to barring the last 2 strings
And also you put your middle finger on the 3rd fret of the C string
Ring finger on the 4th fret [E] of the G string
[B] _ _ And then we need the chord of E minor
Which pretty much is the same, you just move both of these fingers
The middle finger and the ring finger one string down, like [Em] this
_ Alright, _
[C] so pretty much throughout the whole song we're repeating C [Am] one time
A minor one time, [B] B [Em] one time and E minor one time
Alright, and the string pattern I'm doing [C] is something like
Down, [Am] down, down, up, down
[B] _ _ [Em] _ [C] _ _ [Am] _ _ [B] _
_ [Em] And also while you're on E minor there's a little pick you can do
[Cm] This [Em] thing, which is just hitting the C string
[Bm] Then opening the E string but you're holding it with the pointing finger on the 2nd fret
Like this, I'm just barring it to get this tone and [Em] then I put it back
So it's, [C] _ and all together it sounds like this
[Am] _ [B] _
_ [Em] _ [C] _ _ [Am] _ _ [B] _ [Em] _
[G] _ [C] [Am] Been spending most our [B] lives living in the [Em] gangster's [C] paradise
We've been [Am] spending most our [B] lives living in [Em] the [D] gangster's [C] paradise
And pretty much that sums up the whole song
Let's do it slow and play along right now
