Ukulele Chord Chart – “Blue Skies”

This is “Blue Skies” by Irving Berlin. I love this song so much. I love the emotional meaning of the color blue (my favorite color), his use of mixed major and minor tonalities, and the melody itself of course. Kids love this song, too!

This arrangement is in a minor, also utilizing the dm, D7, C, G7, and fm chords.

Baritone Ukulele Chart – “Edelweiss”

This classic from “The Sound of Music” was actually one of the first non-original songs I learned on the baritone ukulele! (which is my “home” ukulele – I learned bari before I learned GCEA)

This song contains the G, D7, em7, am7, A7, and cm chords. It’s a great study in music theory and an opportunity to try some fingerpicking. Plus, it’s just a gorgeous song.

Ukulele Chord Sheet – “What’s Up” by 4 Non Blondes

This 90’s classic is one of my favorites and one of the musical through-lines through my life! If you wake in the morning and you step outside, and you feel like you need to take a deep breath and get real high…you should scream at the top of your lungs, “WHAT’S GOING ON?!?!”

This song is a great one for learning because it only has 3 chords, but they’re different from our very beginning easy songs. We’ve got A, D, and b-minor to get you real comfy with a barre chord. The chord progression is repetitive, so this is also a great one for practicing strumming.
