The strumming pattern that fits is the busy upbeat 4/4: d – d u d u d u. It rolls along at a brisk pace of around 150 bpm. This arrangement is in D major. The chords stay at the novice level, nothing tricky in there. Strum fast down-up eighths and let the chorus gallop without slowing down.

Missing one little chord – throw in a Bm in the last Verse progression before heading into the Chorus – (D) You asked me what’s my (A) pleasure? A movie or a (Bm) measure? I’ll have a cup of (G) tea and tell you of my… The rest is spot on ?
Hi all, when playing this with chords C,G & F the 3rd line of the verse is better playing C G Am and the 4th line F. Also after radiate in the bridge on the last line play a G7 after G.
Great uke song
