How to play Anarchy In The UK on ukulele

The strumming pattern that fits is the down-up eighths: d u d u. Expect a brisk pace, around 140 bpm. This arrangement is in G major. I rate the chords skilled, a fair middle ground. Hammer fast downstrokes with no let-up to drive the punk energy.

Biography

Sex Pistols was a punk rock band that formed in London, United Kingdom in 1975. They are, together with The Clash and The Damned, responsible for initiating the punk movement in the United Kingdom and inspiring many later punk and alternative rock musicians. Although their initial career lasted just two-and-a-half years and produced only four singles plus one studio album, Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols, they are regarded as one of the most influential acts in the history of modern popular music.
