The chords are all picked, with emphasis on the root and B string, except the Am which is emphasised on the E string. Ryan plays the G as a bar chord on the third fret, and it makes it sound more authentic.
Difficulty: intermediate
Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: F
Capo: 5th fret

Oh, dear Winter, I hope you like your name

I gotta find a girl that doesn't mind that I'm inside my head a lot
F*            G*            Am*   G*
   Winter, it won't be too long
F*               G*               C*
   First, I just gotta find your mom

I am playing this on a Uke, and the C chord doesn't quite sound right. Probably because of the lack of as many notes. Any idea of a chord or fingering that would make this sound better? I am quite new. It's really awesome to have a version of this song out so quickly. Thanks so much for the work you put into this!

F/Gb is a made-up chord. I couldn’t find it anywhere on the internet!!!!
