Chords for Ukulele Whiteboard Request 5 - Sweet Pea

Hello everyone and welcome to Ukulele On The Ground's whiteboard requests.
This time we have a request from Wishing Wonderland
and it's a request for Sweet Pea by Amos Lee.
So let's tackle this song, alright?
So here, as usual, we have the chords for you.
We have E, G sharp 7, C sharp minor 7, F sharp, A, and B.
So let's go over these.
E, we have our pointer finger, see right here?
That means we're gonna bar the second fret
and hold on the top three strings on the fourth fret.
So we're gonna use our ring finger to bar the top three strings on the fourth fret.
Notice I'm curving my finger so it doesn't touch the A string,
which is still playing the A string second fret. _
Everything else [Bm] playing the C, E, [E] and G strings on the fourth fret. _
So that's your E chord.
_ _ _ If that's too hard for you, you can use your pointer finger,
hold on the A string second fret, ring finger, E string, fourth fret,
middle finger, C string, fourth fret, and your thumb can hold down the G string fourth fret. _
Same thing.
_ _ _ [G#] Alright, next up we have G sharp 7.
Pointer finger will be on the G string first fret,
middle finger, E string, second fret,
ring finger, C string, third fret,
and your pinky finger, A string, third fret.
So it's 1, 3, 2, 3.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] Next up we have C sharp minor 7.
Pointer finger will simply bar the fourth fret. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ Next we have F sharp.
Pointer finger will now bar the first fret,
middle finger, E string, second fret,
ring finger, G string, third fret. _
_ _ _ _ We have a [A] simple A chord next.
Middle finger, G string, second fret,
pointer finger, C string, first fret. _ _
_ _ Last but not least, we have a B chord.
Pointer finger, bottom two strings on the second fret,
middle finger, C string, third fret,
ring finger, G string, [B] fourth fret.
_ _ _ _ And those are the chords that we're going to be using for this song.
The strumming pattern is right here.
So you're going to do a straight up, down, [E] up, down, up, down, up, down, up, strumming pattern.
But you're going to notice that I put X's on the up strum.
That means we're going to mute the up strums.
It's going to sound like this.
So for my E chord, I'm actually holding down all the strings.
But when I let go, it stops the strings from ringing. _ _ _
_ See that?
And that's how I mute the strings with my left hand.
You can also mute the strings with your pinky if you want.
_ _ So the strumming pattern is going to sound like this.
_ _ _ _ So I'm lifting up, but I'm not completely letting go of the chords,
but I'm just lifting up so that I mute the chord.
_ _ So I'm doing this down, [C] up, down, up, down, up, down, up, strum.
_ And each time I strum up, I [E] have it on mute. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] Now what about those chords that you're not holding down all the strings?
For example, your A chord, you can use your pinky for that. _ _
_ _ _ _ Notice only the down strums are being heard.
_ I'm muting the up strums. _ _ _
_ So you have,
_ [G#] Sleeping, apple of my eye.
And that's the strumming pattern you're going to be using [N] for this song.
Next up, we have the verse and the bridge.
And pretty much we got the whole song down.
Now the verse, it goes E, G sharp 7, C sharp minor 7, and F sharp.
So let's go over the top line first, and then we'll go over the next one.
And that's the first verse that we're going to be singing.
Sing along with me.
It's going to go like this.
So let's do it slow.
One, two, ready, E, E, sleeping, E sharp [G#] 7, apple of my eye, C sharp [E] minor.
Don't know when and I, F [F#] sharp, don't know why.
All right, let's try that again.
So E, G sharp 7, C sharp minor, and F sharp.
Okay, let's go.
One, [N] two, _ one, two, ready, go.
[E] _
Sleeping, [G#] apple of my eye.
[C#m] _
Don't know when [F#] and I, don't know why.
[N] Okay, now that we got that line down, let's move on to the next line.
This is the part that goes, you're the only reason.
So it's E, C sharp minor, A, B, E.
So this is you're the only reason I keep on coming.
_ Okay, so it's going to sound like this.
I'll play it for you guys.
One, two, ready, [E] go.
You're the only [A] reason I keep on coming.
[E] _ _ Now let's play the whole verse.
So E, G sharp 7, C sharp minor 7, F sharp, then E, C sharp minor, A, B, E.
Right, here we go.
One, two, ready, go. _
[G#] Sleeping, apple of my eye.
[E] Don't know when and [F#] I, don't know why.
You're the only [A] reason I keep [B] on coming [E] home.
And pretty much you do that same thing on the second verse as well.
Okay, let's move on.
The bridge is fairly easy.
It's only got four chords.
We're going to hold the G sharp 7 for the first line.
Next line is C sharp minor, [G#] so on and so forth.
Okay, so it's going to sound like this.
I like the rock, _ I always seem to fall to [C#m] in the words.
Let's get in the way.
_ [F#] Oh, I know that's F sharp right there.
Then you're going to end on that B.
_ [B] _ _
_ _ _ If you want to be dramatic, you can let out all that mute and you can just go,
_ _ if you [G#] want to do that.
So let's try it again from the bridge.
So G sharp 7, I like the rock, I always seem to fall to in _ [C#m] the words.
C sharp minor 7, _ [F#] F sharp, _ _ _ then we're going B.
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And then you go back to your verse, and that's pretty much the whole song.
All right, thanks for checking this out.
