How to play Smile on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. The groove sits around 70 bpm, a relaxed pace, and it swings lightly. This one leans on trickier shapes, with the chords at the proficient level. Prefer easier shapes? Transpose the song down 3 half-steps, then a capo on fret 3 brings you back to the key on this page. Strum softly with a gentle swing and let each chord ring.
