Chords
I just transposed this from a guitar tab I found, but it definitely sounds right. It sounds a bit high on a uke, but that can't be helped.
It's not too hard, most experienced uke players should be able to master it within a couple play-throughs.
So here's the main bass riff:
A|---7---5-------5-|
E|-0---7---0-0-7---|
C|-----------------|
G|-----------------|
This just repeats over and over again through most of the song.
The chords are pretty simple, just replace the Em chord with the bass riff.
