Pokemon Theme Song - Easy Chords



One of my valentines loves Pokemon. So for this Valentine's day, if you also have someone in your life who can barely contain themselves at the mention of Squirtle or Pikachu, here's a song you can sing to them.

The Pokemon theme song is fun to play because it's so dramatic.  My favorite part is "Oooooh, you're my best friend in a WORLD WE MUST DEFEND!"  I imagine Jack Black.

I play a version that has only three easy chords:  G, D and C.  I think it sounds pass-able and great for me and my kid when we're just messing around and having fun.

If you are looking for a version that is true to the song I would recommend checking Ultimate Guitar for the chords.  (Of course they will show you the fingerings for guitar chords, so you'd have to Google the ukulele chord fingerings if you don't already know them.)

Enjoy!
