How to play Bon Iver on ukulele
A solid first pick for Bon Iver on ukulele is the island strum: d – d u – u d u. This arrangement is in Bb major. The chords ask a bit more of you, so I rate them proficient. For easier shapes, shift it down 3 half-steps with the transposer and clip a capo on fret 3 to land back in the same key.

I would change the second Dm in the bridge to a Bb
-3 is the simplest
it’s picking from AGCE and that repeats , or if you want a simpler strumming pattern you can use DDUUDU. words from maia herself:)
