This ukulele chord collection is built for standard re-entrant g–C–E–A tuning. The lowercase g matters: on most soprano, concert and tenor ukuleles the fourth string is higher than the C string rather than being the lowest note. Every tile links to a full chord page with several positions, chord tones and a sound reference, so you can choose a shape that suits both the song and your hand.
The four vertical strings run from g on the left to A on the right. A 0 is an open string, x is a muted string, and each number is the fret to press. For example, 0–0–0–3 is C major: leave g, C and E open and fret the A string at the third fret. Hold close behind the fret wire and check every string separately before strumming the chord.
These friendly shapes cover the harmony in hundreds of songs and give both major, minor and dominant sounds:
Begin with C–G–Am–F, the I–V–vi–IV progression in C. F–G–C is a short cadence that teaches a clear pull home, while C–Am–F–G is the classic I–vi–IV–V loop. Practise one pair of changes at a time before joining the whole sequence. A7–D7–G adds dominant sevenths and is especially useful for folk, blues and traditional ukulele songs. Use compact motions: keep any finger that belongs to both shapes in place.
