Capo: no capo
Tuning: G C E A
When transitioning from the Bm to the Em, I find that it sounds nice to sometimes use Emadd2 (0422) as a
transition chord by shifting your ring finger from the G to the C string and hammering on from 2 to 3 on the
E string.
Chords with an asterisk indicate a single strum.
Listen to the song to get a feel for how he varies the rhythms. I find that the rhythm for the
D Dsus4 D transitions works well for me as follows with the * indicating a pull off from 3 to 2 on the
E string:
A|| ----(2)----2-----|---------------2-|-----------2-----|-------------2---|
E||.----(3)--5---5-3-|-----3-----------|---3-----5---5-3-|-----3-----------|
C||.(4)-(4)----------|-2h4-------4-----|-----------------|-2h4-------4-----|

The intro tab is different than the other ukulele intro tabs because I find that it makes it easier to play
if you think about the whole intro as pivoting around an Em chord shape (0432) with the second finger staying
on fret 3 of the E string through the entire intro.
Note that the intro repeats and the notes in parentheses are only played the second time through.
