How to play Golden on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the whole-bar ballad: d – – –. It rolls along at a relaxed pace of around 68 bpm. The chords ask a bit more of you, so I rate them expert. Let each chord ring for a full bar and follow the piano's slow build.

How was this arrangement?
Your rating helps other players find the best arrangements
for the chorus. replacing the Gm with another Eb for the first two lines sounds a lot cleaner with the vocal melody, which then makes the sudden shift of including it in the third line more noticeable and memorable!
so instead it would be:
Fm Eb Ab Eb
And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies
Fm Eb Ab Eb
And all the lovers with no time for me
Fm Gm Ab Eb Eb
And all of the mothers raise their babies to
a lot of switching but the chords aren’t hard. thanks!
after the last Cmaj7 chord, i do 3 muted down strums on beats 2, 3, and 4 🙂
this sounded great!
-1 is easier 🙂
