You will often find this song written in the key of C with a capo on the 3rd fret. This is the way Neil Finn plays it on guitar. However, capos don't always work well on ukulele and the song will sound a bit flat if sung in C. So this version is written in Eb, the key of the recording. Most of the chords have simple forms, except G# which really must be barred. Once in a barre position for the chorus, the other chords are actually not too difficult. Therefore there are two patterns written for Eb and Cm - choose whichever works the best for you.
