How to play I’d Rather Be With You on ukulele
A good starting strum for this style is the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. This arrangement is in Db major. The chords ask a bit more of you, so I rate them proficient. 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. Play softly with a gentle sway.

here’s a fingerstyle you can try:
transpose down one half step.
play strings separately in this order: GCEA-ECE (ppim-ipi)
place your pinky on the 5th fret for the 2nd G chord.
Turn the transposer down 1 half step and it is perfect. Thanks for these chords! Great song
I like to put this up 6 half steps!
