The easiest way to play them
B is 4322 (3 fingers), Bm is 4222 and B7 is 2322. With only four strings, most ukulele chords need one to three fingers, and a chord with more notes than strings simply leaves one out — usually the 5th, which the ear fills in. A barre means laying the index finger flat across the strings at one fret — easier on a ukulele than on a guitar, as the strings are soft and few.
