No Woman No Cry - Bob Marley - Ukulele Chords

Love this song (and who doesn't?) - No Woman No Cry by Bob Marley. Works nicely on ukulele with a slow skanky strum.

Like a lot of Reggae, it follows a pretty simple and repeating pattern. The basic chord progression throughout is C, G, Am, F.  At the end of the second part of each chorus however the progression changes to a quick C, F, C, G, C with strums in time with the vocal of '[C]no [F]wo [C]man [G]no [C]cry'.  For the change from Am to F, just hammer on to the F from the Am with a finger at the E string 1st fret.
