How to play Laughter Lines on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the island strum: d – d u – u d u. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 100 bpm. This arrangement is in E major. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Start sparse and add up-strokes as the track swells toward the chorus.

For anyone that thinks Dbm is hard, put your index finger over the first, second, and third strings on the fourth fret and put your ring finger on the fourth string on the sixth fret. Hope this understandable and easier to play 🙂
I find it easier to sing for a mezzo soprano at +5
its a little easier to use transpose +1
Sounds great!
