How to play Cover Me Up on ukulele
On ukulele, Cover Me Up comes down to the whole-bar ballad: d – – –. It rolls along at a relaxed pace of around 72 bpm. This arrangement is in Eb major; the original recording is in D major. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Prefer easier shapes? Transpose the song down 1 half-step, then a capo on fret 1 brings you back to the key on this page. Let the opening chords ring for a full bar before adding any strums.
