How to play Daniel on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the island strum: d – d u – u d u. The groove sits around 86 bpm, a medium pace. I posted this one in its original key of C major. Nothing scary in the shapes, it sits on the easy ukulele songs list at the novice level. Play a soft even strum under the melody and ease right off in the verses.

love this song, thank you so much for the wonderful tab on it
I love this song! <3
Also works great in G (-5) if you want to lower the vocal.
These tabs are perfect for my novice playing. It’s easy to get up to tempo and sound like I know what I’m doing. Thanks so much!
