How to play Babylon on ukulele
On ukulele, Babylon comes down to the island strum: d – d u – u d u. Expect a brisk pace, around 128 bpm. You are playing it in Eb major. The chords ask a bit more of you, so I rate them proficient. For easier shapes, shift it down 1 half-step with the transposer and clip a capo on fret 1 to land back in the same key. Relaxed down-up strumming suits the verses; let the chorus open up.
