How to play Starlight on ukulele
To play Starlight on ukulele, strum the down-up eighths: d u d u. Expect a medium pace, around 120 bpm. This arrangement is in B major. The chords ask a bit more of you, so I rate them expert. For easier shapes, shift it down 4 half-steps with the transposer and clip a capo on fret 4 to land back in the same key. Drive relentless straight eighths and don't let the pulse dip.

In each chorus, it sounds better if only the G7 chord is played after the F, rather than the C then the G7
+1 sounds pretty much the same and if you can handle the E chord it’s very easy!
