How to play Rise Up on ukulele
To play Rise Up on ukulele, strum the island strum: d – d u – u d u. Expect a medium pace, around 120 bpm. This arrangement is in C minor. The chords ask a bit more of you, so I rate them proficient. Want friendlier shapes? Drop it 3 half-steps, then a capo on fret 3 restores the key you see here. Add fuller strums in the chorus to lift this uplifting singalong.
