The Stone chord chart, free to everyone who wants to play.
Forty-eight chords for tenor ukulele in standard G C E A tuning, plus the progressions and the strum that get you playing along tonight. Print it, save it, and share it with a friend who has been meaning to start.
Frets count down from the nut at the top of each diagram. A gold dot is where a finger goes, and an open circle above a string means you let that string ring open. Tap any chord to hear it, and press play on a progression to hear it with the strum.
The sound is a reference tone made in your browser, so you can check a chord by ear. It is not a recording of a Stone tenor.

These four unlock hundreds of songs, and they are the four we teach in a first lesson. Get them clean and you can play along at the next jam.
Play something tonight
Loop any of these with the strum below, and you will recognize more songs than you expect.
C, G, Am, F
The four chords behind more hits than anyone can count.
C, F, G7
Three chords and the whole campfire songbook.
Am, F, C, G
The same four chords starting on the minor, for anything with feeling.
The strum
- Down
- Down
- Up
- Up
- Down
- Up
Count it slowly, keep your wrist loose, and let it swing once it feels natural.
Major chords
One for every key. Most songs live in C, F, G, D and A, so learn those first and the rest will come.
Minor chords
The same twelve keys with a little more feeling. Am, Dm and Em will carry you a long way.
Seventh chords
Sevenths add the pull that makes a chorus want to land. G7 and C7 are the ones you will use most.
Minor and major sevenths
For the softer, jazzier songs, and for the moments when a plain chord sounds too plain.
