Wellerman spelen op ukelele
Het strumpatroon dat past is de neer-op achtsten: d u d u. Het rolt voort op een stevig tempo van rond de 130 bpm. Op deze pagina staat het nummer in C mineur. Ik geef de akkoorden vaardig, een eerlijk gemiddelde. Hit strong downstrokes and let everyone sing the chorus.

easier chords for beginners would be:
For the Verses: Am, Dm, Am, Dm, Dm, E7, Am
And for the Chorus: F, C, Dm, Am, F, C, Dm, E7, Am
Ab doesn’t sound right in the chorus, I find that another Cm sounds better.
Capo on third fret and transpose -3 is the easiest from what I can tell
+2 is easier for begginers
