How to play Cabo on ukulele
A good starting strum for this style is the island strum: d – d u – u d u. You are playing it in G major. Chord-wise this is an easy one: everything sits at the novice level.

If you want to sing it in the original key, transpose up two half steps (+2). Chords are a bit wonky but I feel like that’s because the song is just a bit odd to play in ukulele, it comes with a different style of playing/singing since I don’t the song is best suited for the ukulele. Of course, songs can be interpreted and played differently so there’s that lol, I love this song so much.
If someone comes up with an able strumming pattern lmk in replies! Enjoy playing and I hope I helped >.<
Strumming patter?
Heck yeah 😳
this one can be tricky because the cords are so fast – but the strumming pattern I use is just ddu and just flow into the next chord. for the last part of the song where it layers and changes to the valley over me one, I just keep doing that but make the beginning of ddu I little bit harsher because it us made with claps or drums.
