How to play God’s Gonna Cut You Down on ukulele
On ukulele, God’s Gonna Cut You Down comes down to the all downs: d d d d. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 120 bpm. On this page the song is in Bb minor, while the recording itself is in E 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. Stomp even downstrokes and clap the backbeat for the menacing pulse.
