How to play 18 on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the island strum: d – d u – u d u. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 100 bpm. This arrangement is in A major. I rate the chords skilled, a fair middle ground. Ease in softly and build to a fuller strum in the choruses.

it’s uhm we took a chonce ::)
there’s a lyric correction for Niall’s solo. i believe it’s actually “we took a chonce” instead of “we took a chance”.
There is a lyric mistake, chance is supposed to be chonce 😉
incorrect lyric,,, it’s actually chonce
For people with smol hands like Louis E7 works just as well as E
bechoncé 🙂
am I the only person who cant say Niall’s solo without cracking up and the line is actually “we tuuk a chonce” NOT ‘we took a chance’
I like this its now the first song I fully know on the ukulele but I also agree it we took a chonce not chance thanks 🙂
