How to play Margaritaville on ukulele
The strumming pattern for Margaritaville: d – d u – u d u. The groove sits around 78 bpm, a relaxed pace. I posted this one in its original key of D major. The chords stay at the rookie level, nothing tricky in there. Let the island strum stay loose and relaxed behind the storytelling verses.

How was this arrangement?
Your rating helps other players find the best arrangements
i second that +5 is great and it’s also really easy to sing with
I like this with +5 and using island strum
-2 is great and easy
+5 sounds goos and very easy
For any Jimmy Buffett song, transpose -2 and a capo on the 2nd fret sounds perfect and matches the actual song.
How do you play the songs so that you can practice? I’m trying to learn Margaritaville… new to this site. Thanks!
To many curse words. Hard to play.
