A fact many of you probably did not know - George Harrison and the Beatles were all huge ukulele fans. Harrison was even known to carry 2 with him everywhere he went, just so he would have somebody else to play with. Anyways, I recently purchased my first musical instrument, the ukulele, because I've always wanted to learn and instrument but was neverpatient enough to (apparently the uke is pretty easy to play).
And Yes, it is pretty easy to play-learning the strumming patterns is the hardest part. Nicely enough, many great bands' music can be adapted to the uke. Recently, I've mastered The Penalty by Beirut which is an incredible song, and I was looking for a new challenge. Fortunately for me, I found an amazing site on how to play a few dozen Beatles songs on the ukulele. The hard part is, you can either play with the website since it's flash, or you can write down the chords yourself. Lucky for you (if any ukulele fans are directed to this site from Google), I've tabbed out the chords for the entire song with the words. I know I have a tough time finding songs I love chorded out for the uke. The website is good, but it's hard to go back and forward in order to just get the chords down. Here is the website by the way if you want to try some of your own: http://beatlesite.info/
To figure out how to play the funny sounding chords like C7sus and stuff like that, just click Here Comes the Sun on the website I linked above and write it down once you get to that part in the song (the website shows the finger movements). Some of this may look complicated, but it's actually very easy, just see and follow along with the website and you'll see.

Thanks for posting this.
hi, could you please tell me what the (trans) means?
hey! all i meant by trans is that you play that chord during the transition from one chord to another. You can leave that transition out if you'd like, it's basically just adding/removing a finger to the chord for fun anyway
oh, okay :) thanks!!
what does the sus mean? I really would like to learn the way the beatles play it (not just the chords, but how it's all different notes). do you know how?
wat the hell
