How to play Heavenly Day on ukulele

On ukulele, Heavenly Day comes down to the island strum: d – d u – u d u. Expect a relaxed pace, around 76 bpm, with a light swing to it. You are playing it in B major. The chords put it squarely at the skilled level. Want friendlier shapes? Drop it 4 half-steps, then a capo on fret 4 restores the key you see here. Let the eighths swing a little and stay light under the verses.
