Practice Tips
- The main progression revolves around F → Am → C → F, so practise this first.
- The Bb → F movement appears frequently in the verses and is important for keeping the song flowing.
- Practise the Fm → C → Am → Dm → F progression separately because it is used in the intro and outro.
- The solo section introduces Cm and Db, so practise these chord changes slowly before playing along with the song.
- For a smoother accompaniment, allow the final chord of each lyric line to ring slightly before changing to the next chord.
- Use standard ukulele tuning GCEA and no capo.
- Because the song contains several chord changes, start slowly and increase the tempo as your chord transitions become comfortable.
- Use Intermediate mode above to display the chord diagrams inline.
