Code Monkey Ukulele Chords

chibimuse · June 2012

I couldn't find a nice easy set of Ukulele chords for Code Monkey, but I did find this somewhat older video of someone playing it and did my best to figure out the chords from there.
Video:

Chords:
E7 G F C Am G7 F7 Am7

Intro: E7
Verses: G F C
Pre-chorus: F G E7 Am, G F, G7 G
Chorus: C C7, Am7, C F F7, G G7, G C, G F
Bridge: C G F x2

Here is a google doc with all the actual lyrics: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13Qu3JIhikz_ro6Jgvhr_oMJPdAY72umtMYyZUYf7Jas/edit
I hope this can help out some people like myself who are looking for some chords for a simple version of Code Monkey.

This is the more advanced Ukulele remix by Kristen Shirts: http://youtu.be/Tm-7tvulkq4
The chords and tab for that one are posted at this old forum thread: http://www.jonathancoulton.com/forums/index.php?p=/discussion/20/x&page=1

Interesting. Uke would not be my first choice of instrument for that song, because of the muted mid/bass notes under the verse.

Yeah it isn't perfect, but it is one of my favourite Coulton songs so I wanted to learn how to play it. I just recently started learning Ukulele and don't play any other instruments.

This does make me think... didn't ms. Shirts put up some chords for her version somewhere?

Yeah the chords and tab for her version are posted in that forum thread I linked at the bottom. Here is the specific post: http://www.jonathancoulton.com/forums/index.php?p=/discussion/comment/1872#Comment_1872
