“Million Reasons” by Lady Gaga Baritone Ukulele Cover

Watch the video to hear me play Million Reasons on the baritone ukulele cover and get the baritone ukulele chords on the screen so you can play along with me.

In the video above, I chose to transpose and perform Million Reasons in the key of F. Lady Gaga originally recorded this song in the key of C. As a male singer though, I found it easier to sing in the key of F, however, if you’re a female singer, you may wish to play this song in the original key of C. I’ve included both versions below.

You can also play along with me using your standard-tuned ukulele, but you’ll need to look up the standard ukulele chord diagrams for the chords F, Dm, Bb, and C in the Ukulele Tricks Chord Library.
