Hi there,
I am pretty new to playing uke, and have found chords for "Rock that Uke". One is B7 and Bm7 which I find difficult as a beginner. How do I transpose the chords? Anyone know?
Tha nks if anyone can help me.
Judec
They go:
INTRO
Em7 Bm7 Am7 B7
Doot doot doobie doobie doot doot doobie doobie doot dat’n dee daa dow [twice]
VERSE 1
Em7 Bm7 Am7 B7
Em7 Bm7 Am7 B7
CHORUS
Am7 CM7 Am7 CM7 Am7
B7
Am7 CM7 Am7 CM7 Am7
B7
H Judycdy,
It is illegal to post copyright lyrics so I have had to remove them for you. I have left the chords, so if you say what key you would like it transposing to, I or another Member, will be able to do so and you can then fit them back to your lyrics.

Ah whoops sorry, did not know I couldn't do that. I don't know what key? Is F or C good?
Thanks,
Judec
Ideally, so it is only done once and you only have to learn it once, it needs to be in the key that you can comfortably sing it in.
Roger
How about the key of C then. I would very much appreciate that thanks.
Jude.
Hey Jude, (now that sounds like a good song title 
),
This is in a minor key so you cannot use Major chords so here are the Cm chords:
For Em7 use Cm7
For Bm7 use Gm7
For Am7 use Fm7
For B7 use G7
For Cm7 use G#m7
I suspect that these might not be too easy either so perhaps these may be better in Am:
For Em7 use Am7
For Bm7 use Em7
For Am7 use Dm7
For B7 use E7
For Cm7 use Fm7
You can probably get away with out using the 7th but it will not sound quite the same.
I hope that helps and please let me know how you get on or if you want any more help just ask.
Roger
