Chords in the key of C# minor on ukulele

The key of C# minor has seven diatonic chords: C#mC#mC#mC#m, D#°, E, F#mF#mF#mF#m, G#mG#mG#mG#m, A and B. As sevenths: C#m7C#m7C#m7C#m7, D#m7b5, Emaj7Emaj7Emaj7Emaj7, F#m7F#m7F#m7F#m7, G#m7G#m7G#m7G#m7, Amaj7Amaj7Amaj7Amaj7 and B7B7B7B7. They come from the C# natural minor scale, C#, D#, E, F#, G#, A and B, 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.
