How to play To Let A Good Thing Die on ukulele

To Let A Good Thing Die is usually fingerpicked on ukulele rather than strummed. If you would rather strum, the everywhere 4/4 works as a fallback. Expect a relaxed pace, around 65 bpm. I rate the chords skilled, a fair middle ground. Fingerpick the chords softly to keep the intimate jazzy mood.
