Chords

This is a ukulele arrangement of this song. Given the range and tuning of the ukulele, playing the exact notes as the original song are very awkward for both the performer and listener. Therefore, in keeping with the original key, this version will not be exactly what is played on the recording. This song is in 4/4, but gives the illusion of 6/8 (especially when drums come in). Count in 4, and remember to swing the eighth notes.
