How to play Yellow on ukulele
To play Yellow on ukulele, strum the island strum: d – d u – u d u. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 87 bpm. I posted this one in its original key of B major. The chords put it squarely at the skilled level. For easier shapes, shift it down 4 half-steps with the transposer and clip a capo on fret 4 to land back in the same key. Let each chord ring through the verse then open into fuller down-ups for the chorus.

-6 is easiest for beginners
+1 is easy 🙂
For the transpose +1, the chorus I think it sounds better not F, Am, G but F, C, G?
