How to play Samson on ukulele
On ukulele, Samson comes down to the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. Expect a relaxed pace, around 72 bpm. On this page the song is in B major. The chords ask a bit more of you, so I rate them expert. For easier shapes, shift it down 4 half-steps with the transposer and clip a capo on fret 4 to land back in the same key. Play slow soft down strums and let each chord ring out.
