How to play I’ll Be Home For Christmas on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. Expect a relaxed pace, around 70 bpm, with a light swing to it. This arrangement is in C major. The chords put it squarely at the skilled level. Strum slowly with a swing feel and let the chords ring under the tune.

i like to transpose +5. Easier to sing and quite simple to play.
This is the traditional version not Bing’s. His is:
G A7 D7, G E7 Am, C D7 G Em, A7 Am D7
G A7 D7, G E7 Am, C Cm G E7, A7 D7 Am G
for the last line I replace the G with G7.
In the line “and presents on the tree ” I like to add G at the end like:
D7 Dm G7 G
When the chords are D7-Dm-G-C it sounds a lot better to use F instead of D7 as it blends better with the vocal dynamics both soprano and alto
This is so cool!
these lyrics are depressing.
