How to play Cigarette Daydreams on ukulele
Cigarette Daydreams runs on one pattern: d – d u – u d u. Expect a medium pace, around 120 bpm. This arrangement is in D major; the original recording is in G major. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Ease into the island strum and open up on the chorus.

Use Gbm instead of Dmaj7 (you hear it too right?)
literally no one asked but the strumming pattern is:
d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d
d d-d-d-d-d-d-d
d-u-d-u-d-u
d-d-d
d-d-d
I think it sounds best on -2
go -2 and play E instead of Gbmaj
Transpose to -2 for best quality (in my opinion)
Very good. Easy and sounds good if you transpose it down -2.
I use Gb instead of Gbmaj, sounds a bit better in my opinion
I replaced the Gbmaj chord by Em and it sounds amazing!
Good work.
The Dmaj7 does not sound right to my ear. Dmaj7 may be correct but I replace it with a Gbm.
the replacement for Dmaj7 is A and D
the intro goes D, Gbm, Em, G, Em-G-Gbm-A-D. play each chord how it sounds in the song, something like d/udddddd (“/” means a quick down/up)
it’s F#m not maj
Dude im a beginner and i dont know what f#m is help
For the original key use A instead of F#
For ukulele use F#m instead of Dmaj7 it sounds better but other than that its good 👍
this song is honestly so beautiful. just replace dmaj7 with gbm and you have the loveliest song ever played on a ukulele. ❤️
i would like it but i dont wanna ruin the 444
The F#maj is an F# minor, much closer to the original.
whats f#maj
F#Maj7 in chorus should be F#- (aka Gflat- However F#- is more accurate as we are in the key of D which has F# & C# accidentals and chords) In the verse D to F#- (which is the top three notes of a DM7 anyway) sounds more like the actual guitar voicing of D to DM7. Aloha!
