How to play Dani California on ukulele
On ukulele, Dani California comes down to the driving 4/4: d – d – d u d u. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 96 bpm. As posted it stays in its original key of A minor. The chords stay at the rookie level, nothing tricky in there. Palm-mute the verse strums then open into full downstrokes for the chorus.

Love the tabs and whatnot, but half the lyrics are wrong.
