Hey strummers! Just a few suggestions.
1. Transpose to -2, of it is too low for your voice, put a capo on the 2nd fret.
2.The only relatively unfamiliar chord is Dsus4, and I would recommend subbing it with a d chord, sounds great!!
3. I do not mean to say that Dsus4 is hard for everybody, I have been playing uke for 7 years, everybody’s skill level is different.
4. Have fun!
Thanks,
Enjoy.

a sounds better than a7sus4 in my opinion 😛
Noice ??
DDUDU is a good strumming pattern
it is much easier if you do C F Am G through the whole song. Such a pretty song dogh
I transposed to -2 but used G instead of G7sus4, used the strumming pattern DD UDU for the verse and DDUUDU for the chorus. Hope this helps 😀
I play A instead of A7sus4 and it sounds way better in my opinion.
+5 is cool
Replacing A7sus4 with just an A chord sounds much better
the A7sus4 sounds a little weird?
