How to play Such Great Heights on ukulele
Such Great Heights is usually fingerpicked on ukulele rather than strummed. If you would rather strum, the everywhere 4/4 works as a fallback. The groove sits around 100 bpm, a medium pace. On this page the song is in G major. The chords put it squarely at the skilled level. This one is fingerpicked; roll through each chord instead of strumming.

does anyone know the fingerpicking pattern?
This isn’t the same key as the original Iron and Wine version. I just tried to play along to it, and it was off key. But I’m not really sure by how much.
In regards to the first comment… I don’t really know how to react; this is kind of sad.
Iron and Wine did a cover it… lol
+5 sounds really good and is easy 🙂
