Dmaj7 to Gmaj7, repeat, then Gmin7 to A7.
Rinse and repeat.

If someone has the chords to the introductory verse I would be obliged:
The sun is shining, the grass is green,
The orange and palm trees sway.
I've never seen such a day in Beverly Hills, L.A.,
But it's December the 24th
And I am longing to be up north.

I'm not gonna say what song this is but I love the chord progression! (C, A7, F, G7, C, C7, F, Fm, C, A7, F, G7, C, G7) then Dm7, Em, A7 to B7, Em, G7 repeat beginning in ( ) and end with [C] [C7] [F] [Fm] [C] [G7] [C] [G7] [C]. Hope that makes sense

How many beats on each chord, Bonesigh?
The Gerald Ross progression above is the third turnaround progression that I gave in my first post on this thread. The only difference is that he barres all four strings for the C chord, while I only barre the first two strings. His description of how to make it sound more "swingy"" is very usefull.

Happy continuing Christmas because I don't know how to really say it in English. Here's an oldie, but it's a goodie.
I don't intend to say what it is in the first place.
I prefer a beat around 180 bpm even though I've heard it in slower tempos. It's not a christmas tune...
4/4 I Gm I Gm I Gm I Gm I F7 I Bb G7 I C7 I F7 D7 I
I Gm I Gm I Gm I Gm I C7 I C7 I C7 I F7 D7 I
I G7 I G7 I C7 I C7 I F7 I F7 I Bb I Bb D7 I
I G7 I G7 I C7 I C7 I Eb Bbdim I Bb G7 I C7 F7 I Bb I
P.S. I realize I've probably made a mistake here, This is a complete tune. Not a new chord progression beg your pardon.

My go-to chord progression is this Hawaiian song.
I use it when testing out 'ukes in stores because it sounds like I know what I'm doing.
Here is Iz performing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rj1xd87d5qA
Edit: The chords didn't line up over the change but I'm too 'ukulazy to fix that.
C G C C7
Aloha wau ia o`e ku`uipo
F A7 D7
Ku`u lei momi ku milimili
E7 Am F
Ho ka heke o`e o na pua
C G7 C D7 G7 C G7
Ake ku`u puna ahe ihi po`i nei
(Repeat)
C G C C7
Ha`ole kamanao ke ike aku
F A7 D7
O maka palupalu me ke aloha
E7 Am F
E lo`e pili ia ike pu`u wai
C G7 C D7 G7 C G7
Ai nei i`e i`e na ka makua
(Repeat)
Instrumental:
C G C C7
Pu ana kai no`e o ku`uipo
F A7 D7
Ku`u lei nani lei makamae
E7 Am F
E no heo oe i kou maka
C G7 C D7 G7 C G7
E ka pua u`i u`i ona lani
(Repeat)

Hello, don't know if this is what your looking for, just a short intro with three chords and in another key too. So it will have to be transposed.
Beg your pardon Jim for bumping the thread.
I am "up north". Normally there's half a meter of snow here. But not today. Just some rain and water on the ice. No skiing - just jogging for me.

Sorry I did not answer until now. Busy, busy, you know. Okay, it the song is "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" but just use these chords and make your own song. I love the progression. I'd like to hear what you come up with too
