G# is the same as Ab. (So Ab minor would be the same as G# minor.) I think the simplest way to play G# is to make the G chord shape using your middle, ring and pinkie fingers, move the shape up (cloder to the body of the ukulele) one fret, while using your index finger to barre the fret closest to the nut. In other words, G# is just G up one half-step (i.e., up one fret).

he he...or you can play the laaaaaazy way (like me) and play the G shape up one fret and not strum the 1st string. 
Or, on a soprano you can let your thumb hang over and hit the top string 1st fret while holding that standard shape, but that is a little more difficult on the longer scaled ukes.

That's what I'd do too Eugene. The laaaaaaazy way!
I play that song with the following chords: F, DM, Bb, C.
I guess that is really the lazy way??? Super simple and so sweet.

Yep. I'm another lazy one who plays G# without the fretted first string, haha!
