“The Original Guckert’s Chords for the Ukulele at Sight Without Notes or Teacher” is a small but still useful ukulele chord book that was published by The Union Music Company in Toledo, Ohio, in 1917. Now in the public domain, it is presented here in its entirety (20 pages).

The chords are presented in the modern C tuning (G-C-A-E) and the preface of the book contains a bit of information on “strokes,” or what we would probably refer to as strumming patterns.
