Please do not ask for strumming patterns. Sharing online how to literally play a song (i.e. strumming, rhythm and tempo) is not allowed by the MPA (Music Publishers Association) because of copyright issues.
Carefully listen to the song and try to really "feel" the rhythm. Once you get the basics of strumming, I can assure you it'll go real quick. Maybe the strumming guide can help you on your way.

Californian singer and dancer "Billie Eilish debuted her ethereal indie electro-pop sound when she was barely a teenager.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Eilish grew up in a household of actors and musicians, and was home schooled along with her brother Finneas O'Connell. At the age of eight, she joined the Los Angeles Children's Choir, developing the soulful vocals that would later appear on her early singles. After the release of "six feet under" and"fingers crossed"

I replaced the E for Em. E is really hard for me to do so I did Em. Also, the song sounds better with Em.
for the pre-chorus, i like to pluck the12th and 10th frets on the a string to replicate what it’s doing in the song.
also, @ everyone who can’t do the e chord: literally just bar the 4th fret and put your pinkie/ring finger on the a string of the 7th fret.
Here’s an alternate for E!
G-4
C-4
E-4
A-2
I have no idea how to do an e, like my hands are too small ☹️
I use an E7 instead, because I have small hands as well
I am clueless as well. My hands are NOT able to do an E for my life, but an Em sounds just as good and if I can do an Em you can too XD
There is an alternative to do an E by putting your ring finger on all the frets on the 4th fret, but for this song an Em chord would sound better than an E chord.
Try with an E7 :)!
I have the same issue. I use G-4,C-4,A-0,E-2
I usually just do an Em….
I had the same issue, just keep trying to do E more often, it’ll be more accordingly the more you do it.
DDU UDU DDU UDU Play that for every cord except for G and C endings. Sorry if that’s confusing just watch Elise Ucklands video for more help!
if any of you are finding hard to play e just play e7 instead that’s what i tend to do!
i tend to lightly mute all the strings and strum —> before the beginning of the song and before verses start.
<—
Strumming pattern plz?
i do DDU UDU x2 for most chords and then x1 for the last two notes
i hope that makes sense lol
DDUUDU for the verses and chorus
D*beat*D*beat*D D*beat*D for pre chorus
it’s the normal uke strumming: down , down up , up down up
duddu :)
DDU UDU
DDU UDU
WAITWAITWAITRUBILLIE
DDU UDU :)
down, down, up, up, down, up
DDU-UD
Is a good strumming pattern
DDUUDUUDUUD or something like that! at least is how i play it
I think it’s DDU UDU
Does anyone have a chord to use instead of E i am finding that one quite hard
I played DDUUDU
DDU UDU (mostly)
Instead of a E you can do an A7
oOoo <- that is the chord on the Ukulele!
oooo
oooo
oooo
Or Em can Ben used in place of the E, I just personally think it sounds better than the E.
I can’t even do E. my fingers aren’t able to be place at the right chord
you can do a7! it’s much easier and sounds similar :)
An alternative way to play E is to play:
A: |–|1|–|–|
C:|–|–|–|T|
E:|–|–|–|T|
G:|–|–|–|T|
I just use E7. It sounds very similar and goes:
Oooo
oOoO
oooo
oooo
e7 instead of E and G7 instead of Fm, I think they sound a bit better that way and it’s easier to play. Good luck !!
Hello children FYI I played this side by the song and just so you know they are the right notes children cheerio
ƈɦɛɛʀɨօ
On the last line when you say favour, add a c chord and play slowly across strings. I feel its a nice finish
In the song there is no C at the end, it ends on Fm
Are you actually Billie Eilish or is you name just Billie
I did the same thing haha!!
Love thisss
i like this idea
I was thinking the same thing lol
i did the same thing it does sound beautiful
Is there an alternative to Fm? It just doesn’t sound right to me.
I use dm, that might work better for you
No they sound so different its poop
An easier way to play f is to just put ur first finger on the 3 string first fret!
no thats c7
g7, it doenst sound the same but its sounds good
I use a g major chord before transitioning into the c
I used G7
ooOo
oOoO
oooo
oooo
With Fm you do as the picture tells u but u put ur pinky finger on the last one
I threw a capo on the 2nd fret and I think I like it a bit better
I actually put it on the 3rd fret!
Fight me I put one on the fourth fret
fifth, ha!
ha i put mine on the 21st
This was really easy and helpful, I’ve been looking everywhere for this song and everywhere else was way to advanced so thank you!!! 😁😁😁
Try an F I use it and I think it sounds good.
Is there like an alternative/easier way to play the E cord? I can’t stretch my fingers far enough for that one lol
try e7, sounds even better to me :)
E7, eh? lets try it! :3
Try an e7!
omggg ur a life saver
i play E7 instead (:
Same!
or g i think . . . (for the super simple version lol!)
I did em bc that’s easier for me
Same
Yes, it took me forever to find an alternative way.
First finger, second fret last chord (A)
Bar the fourth fret with your thumb, first three strings (G, C, E)
bar the third fret and put your fourth finger on the A string 6th fret
play a g chord maybe? idk thats just what i do xdxd
Try doing a D chord but on the 4th fret (make sure the A string or the last string doesnt make a sound. Usually you’ll naturally be able to block the last string when doing that chord) That’s what I do and it works for me. (though it sounds kinda empty but hey it works)
put your thumb on the 2nd 3rd and 4th strings on the fourth fret and your index finger on the 1st string on the second fret
Wuts the strumming pattern??
DDUUDU
i use the basic island strum which is DDU UDU on each chord for the intro, and then for the first Am in the Pre-chorus i just do one strum down. Once i get to the C i start again with the DDU UDU and continue. I just keep with the strumming pattern and switch chords based on which word i’m on in the song. I hope i helped i know im super confusing lol
ddu udu (:
Down down-up up-down up
try DDU UDU
I know everyone’s doing dduudu but I do duuudu for the pre chorus and other verses and dduudu for the chorus
