How to play Icarus on ukulele
Try the driving 4/4 as a starting point: d – d – d u d u. On this page the song is in Db major. This one leans on trickier shapes, with the chords at the proficient level. Want friendlier shapes? Drop it 1 half-step, then a capo on fret 1 restores the key you see here. Start with quiet downs and open into full strums for the chorus.
