“I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz Ukulele Chords

by Brett McQueen

If there’s one song every ukulele player needs to know, it’s Jason Mraz’s I’m Yours on ukulele.

With laid back vibes that make you feel like you’re strumming on the beach somewhere in Hawaii, this song is fun to play.

Learn how to play Jason Mraz’s with the ukulele chord diagrams and chart below and get some tips on the strumming you can use to play this song.

I'm Yours by Jason Mraz Ukulele Chords

Chords Used in “I’m Yours”

This song is originally recorded in the key of B major but sometimes for live performances Mraz will lower the key a half step or two to make it easier to sing.

I find it’s much easier to play and sing when it’s lowered a half step to the key of Bb major.

To help you find the right key for your voice, I’m going to first include the chart for the original key, and then, I’ll include another chord chart for the key of Bb and A.

Use the Ukulele Tricks chord library to look up these chords and get the chord diagrams.

“I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz Video Performance

Listen to I’m Yours to hear how this song sounds before you play it on your ukulele.

As you’ll hear in the video, Jason Mraz uses a muting technique for his strumming on the guitar. We can replicate this on the ukulele by playing a down-up eighth note strum while accenting beats 2 and 4 of the measure.

If strumming is a mystery to you, join me in the free four-lesson Learn to Play Ukulele Today video course.

      This isn’t really a question. More of maybe a suggestion/idea? But who am i to give suggestions to you haha!! Anyways:P I noticed you had the alternate cords posted. I was wondering if you ever considered using cords Bb(C) F#(G) Gm(Am) E (F) and the C# as a D7. It sounds different but i think it goes along with the song really nicely. You’ve probably thought of this before haha but its kinda just an idea. Id love your thoughts:)

        I considered it. The reason I didn’t is because C is a really high key for a male to sing this song. Bb or B is much more reasonable. Females though might be inclined to play the song in C though. 🙂

      I strum this but muting the strings, playing eighths and letting the strings ring on the beats.

      I’m a thirteen year old girl haha! I learned to play this song last year :D. This song is what made me get a ukulele for Christmas! I prefer using C because I still suck at chords haha. I’m joking, I haven’t had proper practice lately but I’ve only just recently picked up on the uke. Loving it! Thanks for the chords 🙂

      Stayed up way too late and played my fingers raw trying to figure this out last night. And now I know why I have reading traditional music for my uke fries my brain… that darn G string really screws with my head after years of violin. Need to explore that low G tuning!
      Great site- thank you!

        Sounds like you’re hooked, Doris! 🙂 Definitely explore that low G tuning. Especially if you are digging into traditional or written sheet music.

      The G#m link isn’t working for me

      Reply
      • Brett McQueen

        Ah, thanks for mentioning it, Gabriel. Apologies for the confusion but Abm = G#m, so it’s the correct fretting hand position and diagram, but it’s just been mislabeled as the enharmonic equivalent (i.e. Ab = G#).
