Ukulele Chord Library

Common chord diagrams in standard GCEA tuning. With just 4 strings, shallow fingerings and few barre chords, the ukulele is the easiest strum-and-sing instrument to pick up.

Standard tuning: G C E A

From the 4th string to the 1st, the strings are G C E A. Note that the ukulele's 4th-string G is a “high G” (re-entrant — higher than the 3rd-string C), which is exactly what gives the ukulele its bright, jumpy sound. Each diagram below labels the GCEA string order at the bottom; the numbers are fretting fingers (1 index, 2 middle, 3 ring, 4 pinky).

Reading the diagram: a filled dot (with a finger number) means press that fret; a hollow ○ at the top (the nut) means play that string open, unfretted.

Learn these 4 first

C, Am, F, G — once you've got these four, you can strum and sing a huge number of songs (C is the easiest; F is your first little challenge).
