As sevenths: Bmaj7Bmaj7Bmaj7Bmaj7, C#m7C#m7C#m7C#m7, D#m7D#m7D#m7D#m7, Emaj7Emaj7Emaj7Emaj7, F#7F#7F#7F#7, G#m7G#m7G#m7G#m7 and A#m7b5. They come from the B major scale, B, C#, D#, E, F#, G# and A#, one on each note. On ukulele, the shapes below are the seventh chords of every degree, and the tonic one has D# 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.
