How to play Elephant Gun on ukulele
It runs d – d u d –. It rolls along at a brisk pace of around 140 bpm. On this page the song is in Ab major. This one leans on trickier shapes, with the chords at the proficient level. For easier shapes, shift it down 1 half-step with the transposer and clip a capo on fret 1 to land back in the same key. Play a waltz feel with down then down-up and let it build.

I think it sounds more like original when you play Am (when transposed to -1) like this: 2003
And obviously C Cmaj7 instead of C C
It is not C C, is C and than Cmaj7
Omfg what a difficult strumming T.T
-1 is easy and sounds amazing
I thought he sang ‘take the big game down’ as opposed to ‘king’, makes more sense with the hunting allegory going on in the song. Anyway great work and great song.
