 This song is so beautiful and blast to play on the Ukulele. We will break down the whole song, the intro, the verse, the chorus and at the very end we will do a full play-along.   

We will break it down piece by piece so you can nail it. We will start with that classic two bar riff for the intro to set the stage. After that we will break down the verse. The verse is 8 measures and 3 chords, the A, C#m and D chords. The chord progression is only 2 measures and repeats itself 4 times in the verse, but it also changes a little bit in each progression. The 2nd time through for example the A chord resolves on the high E note instead of the A note, which means you will also need to know multiple chord shapes and barre chords to get the melody just right.   

If you like this style you should check out our chord melody playlist, this style is so much fun and we have a ton of other tutorials for you play in this rich style! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...
