Starting out on ukulele can be challenging. Your fingers lack the dexterity and muscle memory to smoothly transition between chords. Each chord takes effort to memorize and recall during playing. Your strumming is stiff and inaccurate and you are mistakenly muting strings when you shouldn't be.
If this sounds familiar you've come to the right place! I've found the easiest ukulele songs for beginners.
Luckily, you are able to play a huge number of songs knowing the same 4 basic chords. Take your time and memorize Am, C, G and F and you will be able to play most of the songs I've selected. Here they are below if you need a reminder.




The order of the chords may change, but it will be good practice for your chord transitions. Let's get started!
1. I'm Yours
2. Hey, Soul Sister
3. Riptide
4. Somewhere Over The Rainbow
5. Let It Be
6. Stand By Me
7. Lava
8. You Are My Sunshine
9. Hakuna Matata
10. Can't Help Falling In Love
11. Hallelujah
12. Let Her Go
13. Thinking Out Loud
14. Thinking Out Loud
15. No Woman, No Cry
16. Tears In Heaven
17. Under The Bridge
18. Banana Pancakes
18. Ho Hey
19. Creep
20. 7 Years
21. Here Comes The Sun
22. Imagine
23. Radioactive
23. Stressed Out
24. Heathens
24. Shape Of You
25. Stay With Me
27. Count On Me
That's it for now! I hope you've found a few songs that you'll want to learn. As I mentioned before, not all of the songs above use the same 4 simple chords (most of the do). Don't be afraid to branch out and add a new chord to your repertoire if it means you get to learn a new song!

Happy playing!
