How to play Fake Plastic Trees on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. The groove sits around 50 bpm, a relaxed pace. You are playing it in A major. The chords ask a bit more of you, so I rate them proficient. Strum softly and let the chords swell as the song builds.

Is it me or is the tab for Asus4 the same as Dsus2?
A F#m E D A D Bm A
+3 is fairly easy
I like -2 because it works better with my voice lol
There are a few improvements to the chords for this… The chord before the Amaj7 written as A, is an A/F#… which can be played in two ways – 6/6/0/0, or 6/4/2/0.
The chords are rights but the lyrics is different .
The strumming pattern I just used was DDU over and over until it gets to “it wears her out” we’re I just done a single strum or two
I did +3 with F in place if Fsus2 and Am in place of Cmaj7. The variation helps with the notes all sounding kinda similar.
