What's Up - Four Non-Blondes

This is a great strumming song. Note that on the last beat of every measure, she removes her fingers to get to the next chord, that is what gives this strumming pattern its iconic sound. Below the Lead Sheet is the music sheet for the Lead Guitar that plays throughout the song.

Basic Chord Chart

Here is a basic chord chart for Ukulele. There is only one barre chord (chord of E), meaning that one of your fingers will be playing more than one string; to do that you simply need to flattened your finger, so that it presses on both strings at one. 

The numbers in the circles are the fingers used for those notes. These fingers are suggestions only, as depending on the shape and size of your fingers, you might need to use different fingers. Make sure that you are comfortable and try to change the position of your thumb behind the neck of the ukulele if you feel tension in your arm/wrist. The green colour indicates the root note in your chord.

Here is an open chord chart for guitar. Open chords mean that there is at least one string that is played open. The green colour notes are the root note of the chords. The red colour with an X mean that you don't play that string. The numbers in the circles are the fingers that you use for those notes. The fingers used are a suggestion only; depending on the size and shape of your fingers, you might find that using different fingers works better for you. Also, depending on which chord comes before or after a certain chord, you might find that using a different combination works better.
