This is a video by a beginner and for a beginner. It goes over the tuning, chords, chorder, and strumming for the song Five Years Time by Noah and the Whale.

Original song:

Chords and lyrics from ukulelehunt.com:

The song itself has only three chords: C, F, and G. The video goes over two possible options for which G to play. The chorder just repeats: C, F, G, F.

The strumming pattern is
1) down
2) up
3) hit
4) up
(switch chords and repeat)
