How to play Sunshine on ukulele

A good starting strum for this style is the island strum: d – d u – u d u. On this page the song is in Eb major. This one leans on trickier shapes, with the chords at the proficient level. 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.
