How to play Hazard on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. The groove sits around 95 bpm, a medium pace. This arrangement is in G minor. The chords put it squarely at the skilled level. Prefer easier shapes? Transpose the song down 3 half-steps, then a capo on fret 3 brings you back to the key on this page. Play the verses understated and let the strum swell into each chorus.
