How to play NFWMB on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the whole-bar ballad: d – – –. The groove sits around 70 bpm, a relaxed pace. On this page the song is in Eb minor. This one leans on trickier shapes, with the chords at the proficient level. Want friendlier shapes? Drop it 6 half-steps, then a capo on fret 6 restores the key you see here. Let the chords ring long and lean into the slow sultry sway.
