Chords in the key of A major on ukulele

The key of A major has seven diatonic chords: A, Bm Bm Bm Bm, C#m C#m C#m C#m, D, E, F#m F#m F#m F#m and G#°. As sevenths: Amaj7 Amaj7 Amaj7 Amaj7, Bm7 Bm7 Bm7 Bm7, C#m7 C#m7 C#m7 C#m7, Dmaj7 Dmaj7 Dmaj7 Dmaj7, E7 E7 E7 E7, F#m7 F#m7 F#m7 F#m7 and G#m7b5. They come from the A major scale, A, B, C#, D, E, F# and G#, one on each note. On ukulele, the shapes below are the seventh chords of every degree, and the tonic one has C# in the bass.

On the ukulele, the high reentrant G makes every shape light — and with four strings, every note is exposed. Its soft nylon strings sound warm and mellow, light enough to float gently over a song.
