OMG, I know ukutabs has a lot of awesome songs, but this song has been stuck in my ead for forever and I finally got to play it! YAY!
Great song! But I think in the bridge it’s easier and it sounds better to play Em instead of Fmaj7. (+ easiest keys are 0 and +2, if you wanted to know)
This is my first string instrument, and I’m having difficulty telling the strum pattern in this song?? I’m so used to playing clarinet that I am struggling with reading Ukulele music.

So i love this song and i found that instead of just olaying Am to Em on the third “dumb ways to die” do Am G Em so its die-i-i i just like it like that
I have played this six times and I’m still not bored
How do you play the verses?
it sound amazing on +3
