Linger by the Cranberries on Ukulele (Fingerstyle) 

Here’s the ukulele chords progression for the song “Linger” by the Cranberries. The melody was written by Dolores O’Riordan and Noel Hagan, and the lyrics were written by O’Riordan. It was produced by Stephen Street and released on the band’s debut album, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We? In 1993. It peaked at #3 on the charts in Ireland and #8 in the United States. The song gained renewed popularity among Gen Z after it went viral on TikTok, bringing a new generation of listeners to love and relate to this classic.
This video is filmed on a tenor ukulele, though you could also play this arrangement on a concert or soprano ukulele. I developed this fingerstyle arrangement using different inversions, or voicings, which I use to move the melody up the neck. This way I can still maintain chord shapes, giving the tune a chord-melody feel. If you’ve been looking to get started playing acoustic arrangements or popular tunes on your ukulele, give my channel a follow! I offer both cover videos and tutorials at different levels.
