How to play Better on ukulele
A solid first pick for Better on ukulele is the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. On this page the song is in C minor. The chords ask a bit more of you, so I rate them proficient. Prefer easier shapes? Transpose the song down 1 half-step, then a capo on fret 1 brings you back to the key on this page.

-3, -6, and +4 I’ve found to be the easiest. I’m an alto and I thought-6 but an octave higher was the easiest to sing bc I didn’t have to switch octaves. Haven’t found a strumming pattern yet.
