Ukulele Chord Chart
This ukulele chord chart shows where to put your fingers for the most common chords. Each diagram has the four strings as vertical lines, G C E A from left to right, and the frets as horizontal lines. A dot means press that fret; a circle means play the string open.

How to read a chord diagram
- Vertical lines are the strings: G, C, E and A from left to right, as if the ukulele faces you.
- The thick line at the top is the nut. Horizontal lines are the frets.
- A filled dot means press the string just behind that fret.
- An open circle above a string means play it without pressing.
- If a diagram starts higher up the neck, a number on the left shows the first fret.
Every shape on this page was checked against the notes of its chord: for each diagram, the four notes the strings produce were calculated and compared with the chord’s notes.

Frequently asked questions
What are the basic ukulele chords?
C, G, Am and F are the four most common beginner chords, and together they fit a great many songs. Add D, Em, Dm and G7 and you have the eight chords in the beginner chart above.
How do I print the ukulele chord chart?
Press Print or save as PDF. In the print window choose your printer, or choose Save as PDF to keep a file. Only the chord diagrams are printed, not the tuner or the rest of the page.
Do low G ukuleles use the same chords?
Yes. Low G changes only the pitch of the G string, not the finger shapes. Every chord in the G C E A chart works on a low G ukulele; the chords just sound deeper.
Why are baritone chord names different?
A baritone is tuned D G B E, a fourth below standard tuning. The same shape gives a chord a fourth lower, so the C shape is G, the F shape is C and the G shape is D.
What do the numbers under each chord mean?
They are the frets for the strings G, C, E and A, or D, G, B and E on a baritone. 0 means play the string open. For example, C is 0003: only the A string is pressed, at the 3rd fret.
