“Hey, Soul Sister” by Train

by Brett McQueen

It’s been cool to see how pop music has been drawing attention to the ukulele over the past few years. One such song is Train’s single Hey, Soul Sister off their “Save Me, San Francisco” album. Today, we’ll be looking at the chords for this song (scroll down a bit more for the chords).
