I couldn't find quite what I was looking for so I made this today.
Maybe helpful for others :) there's also a blank version attached.
Let me know if you have suggestions or see something wrong!

This is very comprehensive and useful Sporky. Looks like a lot of work went into it and it's very easy to read. Thanks for sharing it.

The middle top Major chord also has a root on the third string.

Hey, thank you and good catch!
 
I confess to being confused when I look at the chart. The first thing I looked at was the "D7" and wondered why it looked like it should have been on the second fret. Then below that is what I take as a "B7". But I don't see the connection between the two.

Some explanation would help me and perhaps others.

I write D7 for dominant 7th but realized later it might lead to confusion. Also others have asked me for explanations so I'll write something up 🙂
 
Thank you Sporky. I'm glad I have them, both your filled in and the empty ones.
 
Thanks! Just FYI, if you’re looking for more of these, Brad Bordessa has a fantastic book called ‘Ukulele Chord Shapes that has all of these, plus many, many more (e.g. altered dominants, etc.).

I agree. I really enjoy both of the Bordessa books. I haven't tried his more recent stuff on playing sixths yet. I think I really like how his voice in his books is a bit different from his voice on this forum. I find that interesting in terms of media studies, but the content is great
