How to play Smoke On The Water on ukulele
On ukulele, Smoke On The Water comes down to the all downs: d d d d. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 112 bpm. The original recording is in G minor. 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. Learn the famous riff first, then chug down-strokes through the verses.

This is the only tab that’ll actually match up with the chords above, accounting for the fact that the C should be a B instead.
