How to read the chart
Strings run left→right as G C E A — G is closest to your nose. ○ = open string, × = don’t play, and a filled dot shows where to press. Numbers inside dots are suggested fingers (1 = index, 2 = middle, 3 = ring, 4 = pinky). Press just behind the fret, not on top of it.

Starter songs & tips
- Two-chord songs: C and G7 fit countless nursery rhymes and folk songs.
- Three-chord songs: add F to play many pop and folk songs in the key of C.
- Keep the wrist relaxed and let the strumming arm swing from the elbow, not the wrist.
- Tune before every session — ukuleles slip easily. Use an electronic tuner or tuning app.
