How to play Bruises on ukulele
On ukulele, Bruises comes down to the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. It rolls along at a relaxed pace of around 72 bpm. You are playing it in Db minor. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Prefer easier shapes? Transpose the song down 4 half-steps, then a capo on fret 4 brings you back to the key on this page. Sparse gentle strums in the verses, swelling fuller as the chorus builds.

Your rating helps other players find the best arrangements
i if it’s your first time playing this i would use -4 bc it’s the easiest but sounds great
-2 is pretty easy and sounds good
strumming pattern?
if on +1, the end note is f 🙂
+3 is pretty easy and best for alto singers
i do single strums on the verses and strum twice after F (DD), if that makes sense 🙂
honstly +3 is preety easy for me and it souns prety good

I use -4 but change the F to a C with a capo on the second fret and to me, that sounds pretty nice 🙂
-4
