The easiest way to play them
D is 2220 (3 fingers), Dm is 2210 and D7 is 2223. 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. Strum down from the G string with the side of your thumb or the nail of your index finger.
