How to play Getting Older on ukulele
To play Getting Older on ukulele, strum the whole-bar ballad: d – – –. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 90 bpm. You are playing it in Bb major. I rate the chords skilled, a fair middle ground. Prefer easier shapes? Transpose the song down 3 half-steps, then a capo on fret 3 brings you back to the key on this page. Let each chord ring for a full bar under the quiet vocal

The F feels rlly wrong
For some reason it says it’s so weird but it’s supposed to be it’s so easy right?
