Folk Uke – Motherfucker Got Fucked Up (Chords)
I’m so excited that Orange is the New Black is back. As well as being fantastic, there’s often some ukulele tucked in there. There was Miss E’s Hummingbird in season three and O’Neill’s anti-nun banjolele song in season two. Season four features this ditty from superstar-progeny duo Folk Uke at the end of the first episode.
The song is just three chords and has easy strumming so it’s perfect for beginners.
Suggested Strumming

In the chorus and the solo: Play that pattern twice for the C chords at the end of the first and third lines. Play it once for everything else. So it sounds like this:
The only place that strum doesn’t work is in the outro. There switch to just down-strums. One for the G at the end of the line and two for everything else. For the very last line go back to the main strum for two chords then end on a down-strum on the C.
Twiddly Bits
With a little octave shifting, the solo transfers neatly to ukulele:
It sounds like this:

Bonus: Papa Roach – Last Resort
The first episode also featured this song and I couldn’t resist.
Tune the C-string down to B for this one.
Lol. Liveleak theme if there ever was one.
