Chords in the key of D major on ukulele

The key of D major has seven diatonic chords: D, Em Em Em Em, F#m F#m F#m F#m, G, A, Bm Bm Bm Bm and C#°. As sevenths: Dmaj7 Dmaj7 Dmaj7 Dmaj7, Em7 Em7 Em7 Em7, F#m7 F#m7 F#m7 F#m7, Gmaj7 Gmaj7 Gmaj7 Gmaj7, A7 A7 A7 A7, Bm7 Bm7 Bm7 Bm7 and C#m7b5. They come from the D major scale, D, E, F#, G, A, B and C#, 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.
