How to play A Bad Dream on ukulele
To play A Bad Dream on ukulele, strum the 6/8 lilt: d – – d – u. It rolls along at a relaxed pace of around 50 bpm. You are playing it in Bb minor. The chords ask a bit more of you, so I rate them proficient. 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. Sway in a slow six feel and hold the verses quiet and dark.
