How to play Pretty When You Cry on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the whole-bar ballad: d – – –. Expect a relaxed pace, around 76 bpm, with a light swing to it. You are playing it in Bb minor. The chords ask a bit more of you, so I rate them proficient. Want friendlier shapes? Drop it 1 half-step, then a capo on fret 1 restores the key you see here. Let each chord ring long and hazy under the slow vocal.
