The notes in Fsus4

RF4B♭5C

Because the uke's high-G string is re-entrant (it's a high note, not a bass), these notes don't stack low-to-high like a guitar — but the chord is the same: F (R), B♭ (4), C (5).

What a suspended fourth chord is

a sus4 replaces the third with the fourth (root, 4th, 5th) — the fourth leans on the ear and wants to fall back to the third.

How it's used: The classic suspension: play the sus4, then resolve to the plain chord and you get that satisfying 'sit down' release. The Vsus4→V is a staple.

The sound: Tense-then-sweet; suspended, waiting to resolve. Where you'll hear it: Rock and pop intros and turnarounds, gospel, and big ringing suspended-chord intros.
