Have just discovered this lady! Good old You Tube - what a beautifully produced piece. Ms Klein's speaking voice is very reminiscent of Jean Arthur, don't you think?

is this for standard uke tuning? GCEA? My chords aren't matching up.

More! More! (applauds)

Think its ADF#B tuning- you can just put a capo on the second fret to replicate

Actually i think the Eb6 shes talking about is really an inversion of like an A13 or sumthing idk tryin to give benefit of the doubt

[brett boyd]

Anyone notice that the last chord she demonstrated is never used in the song lol? Eb???

At 2:57 you'll not the text that say 'The Ukulele Gal is using 1920s Jazz Tuning- A, D F# and B- and a capo on the 3rd fret. With the capo on it is really tuned to the following notes: C F A and D. This is (obviously) different to how she demonstrates the chords in the first half of the video. You can still learn the song and chords as written and play on the C tuning, but you won't be able to play along with the video.

Oh, I see that Schtayven has already noted that!
