How to play Hakuna Matata on ukulele
Hakuna Matata runs on one pattern: d – d u – u d u. The groove sits around 105 bpm, a medium pace. This arrangement is in F major. The chords put it squarely at the skilled level. Have fun with the chorus and keep the island strum light and bouncy.

I can’t either due to small fingers lol.
I cheat when it comes to using E chord, i always use E7 its close enough and its a lot easier.
it should be F on problem free
instead of E I use C. Personally I find it sounds a lot better.
hi
Yeah there are way to many cords for this. A guy in YouTube does a good job teaching this and with only 5 cords. If you want to check him out look up how to play hakuna matata on YouTube. Wacht our for the SpongeBob ukulele!
OMG same! It’s the one thing i have trouble with because of my baby hands:)

Asking questions are in fact nice thing if you are not understanding something
fully, however this post gives nice understanding even.
It’s going to be ending of mine day, but before finish I am reading this wonderful post to increase my
experience.
Does anyone know any chords to use instead of bb?
try:
it’s our problem-free philosophy… hakuna matata
(e) (c) (g) (opt. g7) (c)
+7 is a bit easier, if you are a bigger
I strummed it DDUUDU and it sounded really cool
I think the E on its our problem free philosophy sounds better as an F, but that might just be me
DDUDDU
That’s what I did
What’s the strum pattern
This is a wonderful song but like Krystal Cicely, I can’t play the E chord!!!!!!!!
Its great.
I love it.
I love the lion king and this.
