How to play Ain’t No Sunshine on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. The groove sits around 78 bpm, a relaxed pace. I posted this one in its original key of A minor. The chords put it squarely at the skilled level. Let the A minor chords ring and keep the strum sparse and soulful.

That C just doesn’t sound like it’s right – anyone else have a better idea?
Where do you find the strum pattern on these tabs? I always have to search the comments
i play the Em with fingers 2, 3, 4 and allows me to make the G quicker and the Am with the index finger.
+5 is pretty easy and sounds the best for female voice
What can I do during the “I know” part? Strumming doesn’t seem right, mute strumming doesn’t sound right, tapping/beating doesn’t sound right, and playing nothing doesn’t sound right either. can anyone help me out on this? Thanks.
I think the C should change to an F
I like -7 on the transposer
I changed Em to Em7. So Am Em7 G Am etc.
I also replaced the C (gone too long) with an Am.
I play E7 (gone)
G (long)
And E (time) as an alternative way of doing it.
