Chords

Taken from the first live performance (July 8, 2011), played on a Mya-Moe tenor ukulele (GCEA tuning). (Note: Dave forgets the lyrics in the first chorus, so I've inserted the traditional ones instead.) Optional: During the intro and verses it sounds like he's playimg a Bbadd9 (3213) instead of a Bb (3211). It's also possible he's just muting the A string with his pinky, or not strumming it at all. In the Choruses though he's definitely playing a regular Bb. To keep things simple I've left it as a Bb everywhere, but feel free to mix it up - Dave certainly does!

[Outro] Bb F Dm C Bb F Dm C Bb F Dm C Bb Dave throws in a nonsense line at the end. Just play the main riff a few times and end on a single strum of Bb (or Bbadd9), letting it ring.
