First off, he's playing standard (high G) tuning. I changed both my tenor and soprano ukes over to low G tuning to learn "Still Alive" (and low G just makes more sense for a guitarist like me) but it looks like I've gotta change one back grumble grrr...
 
  
The song doesn't really have a lot of chords per se; it seems to be basically oriented around a blues scale in C with a pedal note picked as a drone on the open high G (starts as a G) and this changes so some chords are implied, but he's not really strumming much. I'll have to think on the best way to present this... is it really worth tabbing out all the little riffs?

This song is an unusual one for the ukulele as it's mostly blues riffs and implied chords, but here's my best shot at tabbing it as close as I possibly can to the way Jonathan plays it. Tuning is GCEA, which is somewhat standard.
