Example
A ukulele class handout: C G Am F G7 E7 B♭ D7 on one Letter page
A fourth-grade music teacher wants one sheet with every chord in the class songbook. Settings: Ukulele, Chords “My own list”, typed as C G Am F G7 E7 Bb D7, Note names Letters, Right-handed, Paper US Letter.
- Eight chords fill a grid three across and three down, all on one page, in the order they were typed. Bb is printed B♭.
- Each box is labelled with the strings G C E A, the standard tuning; o marks a string played open.
- Two shapes use a barre: B♭, with the index finger across the E and A strings at fret 1, and D7, with the index across G, C and E at fret 2.
| Chord | Frets, G C E A | Fingers |
|---|---|---|
| C | 0 0 0 3 | ring finger on A |
| G | 0 2 3 2 | index on C, ring on E, middle on A |
| Am | 2 0 0 0 | middle on G |
| F | 2 0 1 0 | middle on G, index on E |
| G7 | 0 2 1 2 | middle on C, index on E, ring on A |
| E7 | 1 2 0 2 | index on G, middle on C, ring on A |
| B♭ | 3 2 1 1 | ring on G, middle on C, index barre on E and A |
| D7 | 2 2 2 3 | index barre on G, C and E, middle on A |
ukulele-chords.pdf, one page to copy for the whole class. Switched to Guitar, the same list keeps its eight names, but F becomes the full barre 1 3 3 2 1 1 and B♭ a barre at fret 1 (× 1 3 3 3 1): the easy two-string F comes only with the Beginner chords set.
How it works
- Choose guitar or ukulele and which chords: the beginner set, all 12 major, minor or seventh chords, every key, or your own list such as C G Am F.
- Pick letter names or Do Re Mi, left-handed if you play that way, and the paper size.
- Press Make PDF and print it — each chord box shows the fingers, barres, open (o) and unplayed (×) strings.
- To print part of the full chord set, find the chord name in the preview’s page list and download that page.
Frequently asked questions
- Which chords are in the beginner set?
- For guitar C, D, E, G, A, Am, Em, Dm, E7, A7, D7, G7, C7, B7 and an easy F with a two-string barre; for ukulele C, G, Am, F, D, A, Em, Dm, G7, C7, A7, D7, E7 and B♭.
- Can I print the chords of a song?
- Yes — choose “My own list” and type them, for example C, G7, Dm, F#m, Bb, Esus4 or D/F#. Sharps and flats both work, and sus, dim, aug, 6, add9, maj7 and m7♭5 chords are understood.
- Are the fingerings right?
- Every shape is checked by the program against the notes it sounds, so each box plays exactly the chord named above it. Common open shapes are used where they exist, barre shapes elsewhere, with the fret number shown.
- How do I read a chord box?
- Strings run top to bottom from the lowest on the left; the thick line is the nut. Numbers are fingers — 1 index, 2 middle, 3 ring, 4 little — o means play the string open and × means don’t play it.
- What tuning is the ukulele chart for?
- Standard G C E A, the tuning of soprano, concert and tenor ukuleles, with the G string tuned high. A baritone ukulele is tuned D G B E like the top four strings of a guitar, so its shapes are not the ones on this chart.
- How many chords fit on one page?
- Up to 30, five across and six down. Fewer chords get the smallest grid that holds them, so they print larger: 4 chords make two by two, 8 make three by three. A longer list runs on to more pages, up to 120 chords.
- Is anything uploaded?
- No. The PDF is made in your browser.
