How to play 16 CARRIAGES on ukulele
On ukulele, 16 CARRIAGES comes down to the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. It rolls along at a relaxed pace of around 80 bpm. The chords stay at the rookie level, nothing tricky in there. Want friendlier shapes? Drop it 1 half-step, then a capo on fret 1 restores the key you see here. Start soft and grow the strum as the song builds.
