Can you play ukulele chords on the 4 bottom strings of your guitar?

I’ve been playing guitar for about 2 years now. Anyway, I learned vampire by antsy pants on guitar, but it didn’t sound quite right. So I was wondering if it’s possible to tune the 4 bottom strings of your guitar so they are like a ukulele. If so please tell me how to do it.
Thanks!

Christian H,
Yes, you can play ukulele chords on the 4 bottom strings of a guitar.
You’ll have to put a capo on the fifth fret and then only strum the bottome 4 strings. (Might want to mute or take the top two off.) Your 4th string from the bottom will be a low G, not the G above middle C as on most ukuleles. Also you’ll be playing on metal strings and it won’t sound the same as a regular ukulele.
