How to play Higher on ukulele

On ukulele, Higher comes down to the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. It rolls along at a relaxed pace of around 70 bpm with a light swing. This arrangement is in Bb major. I rate the chords skilled, a fair middle ground. For easier shapes, shift it down 3 half-steps with the transposer and clip a capo on fret 3 to land back in the same key. Play it sparse with long let-ring chords under the raw vocal.
