You Only Live Once-Ukulele (Extract, without vocals)

Once again, an example of a song that works well on the uke. Would play the whole thing but it's a tad minimalist (and I can't really do the vocals and play at the same time as I get confused). I also just got a stick-on pick-up for my uke and have plugged it into an old amp my friend gave me.
Anyway, hope some joy comes out of this...
(I learnt this song off Chordie in case anyone wants to know, and sorry if the sound is bad, my quicktime is playing up.)
EDIT: As people keep asking for the chords, here's a link to them: http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.ultimate-guitar.com/print.php?what=tab&...

I use Chordie.com for all my chords as it has the facility to show chord diagrams for Ukes.

@bsanft look at my uploader comments, theres a semi-description there

,E (then I tap the top string at the 6th fret then slide the e shape up two frets to make F#.

Then B, slide down to F#, then E, then repeat from C# again and thats the whole chorus. I recommend downloading the black sheep ukulele chordfinder, google it, its free. Good luck.

So with regards to chords I find it hard to teach this, its pretty simple to work out, it goes E, then bar the fourth fret and play that, then b, then after b theres a chord very similar to B, basically I hold the b chord with my first three fingers and push down the top string (the highest pitched string) on the 4th fret, (so like b with the top string held down on the fourth fret). Then slide down into F#.

Repeat that and thats the first verse or whatever and then the chorus thing is C#.

Please. I beg of you. A tutorial. The instructions you gave didn't make any sense to me, neither did Chordie. Please, yours is the only good ukulele version on Youtube.
