Spongebob Ukulele Tutorial - The Fun Song! Chords

Hello, it's me, the ukulele teacher, here to teach you how to play some of your favourite SpongeBob songs.
So, grab your SpongeBob uke, make sure [C] it's in tune. _ _
[Am] _ If you don't know how to tune your ukulele, there's a video in the corner of the screen to help you out, so check that out now.
And sit back and relax while I teach you how to play the fun song by SpongeBob [N] SquarePants.
To play this song, all you need to know are three really simple chords.
The chords of C, _ F and G.
To play the chord of C, get your third finger on your left hand and push it down on the third fret of the [C] first string, like this. _
_ [F] That's the chord of C.
To play the chord of F, all you need to do is put your first finger on the first fret of the second string,
_ and your second finger on the second fret of the fourth string.
And that should sound like this.
_ _ And that's the chord of F.
The third and final chord you'll need is the chord of G.
To play the chord of G, put your first finger on the [Db] second fret of the third string,
your second finger on the second fret of the first string,
and your third finger on the third fret of the second string.
[Bb] And the chord of G should sound like [G] this.
_ _ _ And [C] that's all the chords that you'll need for this song.
Now you've got your three chords, C, F and G.
Practice going from C to F, _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] then practice going from C to G.
_ _ [G] _ _ _
[Bbm] Keep practice moving [C] between all the chords until you can do it without thinking about it.
C, [F] F, [C] C, [G]
G, [C] [F] C, [C] F, C, [G] G.
With your right hand, you'll now need to know the strumming pattern.
And I'm going to play a really easy strumming pattern all the way through the song.
All I'm going to play is down, down, [C] up, down, down, like this.
Down, down, up, down, down, down, down, up, down, down.
Just practice that strumming pattern on the C for a minute.
Down, down, up, down, down, down, down, up, down, down, down, down, up, down, down.
So now we've got our strumming pattern and our three chords, [F] C, [G] F and G.
And that's basically [Em] all we need to know to play the fun song.
Now the chords are really easy to remember because it just goes C, F, C, G, all the way through the song.
C to F, C to G, C to F, C [C] to G.
And you can keep doing the same strumming pattern as well.
That means on each chord you play down, down, up, down, down, like this.
Down, down, up, down, [F] down, down, down, up, [C] down, down.
Down, down, up, down, [G] down, down.
_ _ [Abm] So you play that through most of the song except the last line.
You play half the pattern on the C and half [C] on the G.
Down, [G] down, up, down, [Db] down.
And then a C, F, C, all [C] down strokes.
[F] C, [C] F, C.
That's the bit that goes, down here [G] in the [C] deep blue sea.
Let me take you through the first verse really slowly.
F is for [F] friends who do stuff [C] together.
U is for you [G] and me.
_ [C] N is for [F] anywhere and anytime at all, [C] down here [G] in the [C] deep blue sea.
_ Then the second verse is almost exactly the same.
It goes, F is for fire [F] that burns down the [C] whole town.
U is for [G] uranium. _ _
[C] Bomb!
N is for no [F] _ survivors.
_ _ _ Thank you, Plankton.
And then the [C] third and final verse is exactly the same as the first verse.
F is for [F] frolic through all the [C] flowers.
U is for [G] _ _ ukulele.
[C] N is for nose [F] picking, chewing gum and [C] sand licking here [G] with my best [C] [F] buddy.
[C] _ And that's how to play the fun song [Bbm] by SpongeBob and Plankton.
