How to play It’s a Man’s, Man’s, Man’s World on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the 6/8 lilt: d – – d – u. The meter is 12/8, four groups of three per bar, so the pattern loops twice per bar. It rolls along at a relaxed pace of around 56 bpm. On this page the song is in Bb minor, while the recording itself is in A minor. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. For easier shapes, shift it down 1 half-step with the transposer and clip a capo on fret 1 to land back in the same key. Count each beat in threes and let the chords ring under the vocal.
