How to play Peace Like a River on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. It rolls along at a relaxed pace of around 82 bpm with a light swing. You are playing it in G major. I rate the chords skilled, a fair middle ground. Loosen into a swung strum and let it lope behind the vocal.
