How to play Bread on ukulele
Try the down-up eighths as a starting point: d u d u. The chords ask a bit more of you, so I rate them proficient. Prefer easier shapes? Transpose the song down 4 half-steps, then a capo on fret 4 brings you back to the key on this page.

The chord above “and yes young miss flora” sounds better if you use the same one as above “but her cakes just weren’t selling” x
I think 1 up sounds good and its easy to play
I really love this song transposed 4 points down, but the Eb chord near the end seems off… any suggestions for a replacement?
thank you so much i love this song!!
