How to play If I Knew on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the 6/8 lilt: d – – d – u. The meter is 12/8, four groups of three per bar, so the pattern loops twice per bar. It rolls along at a relaxed pace of around 70 bpm. This arrangement is in Eb major. This one leans on trickier shapes, with the chords at the proficient level. Prefer easier shapes? Transpose the song down 1 half-step, then a capo on fret 1 brings you back to the key on this page. Count in six and sway, letting each chord ring through the triplet feel.
