Chords
Uke version in G. Transpose down 4 half-steps for original FJM version in D#/Eb
Most chord shapes are open, but the picking sounds better if you use barre chords for D, D7 and B7:
D 2225
D7 2223
B7 2322
Picking pattern throughout:
3 4 1 2 On 1/16 notes
Some notes are best strummed once, or
maybe picked all strings at once. Listen
to the FJM version to get a feel for where
that should happen.
