How to play Cradles on ukulele
On ukulele, Cradles comes down to the half-bar chunk: d u x u. Expect a relaxed pace, around 75 bpm, with a light swing to it. This arrangement is in Bb minor. The chords put it squarely at the skilled level. For easier shapes, shift it down 1 half-step with the transposer and clip a capo on fret 1 to land back in the same key. Add a chunk on the offbeats for the bouncy dark-pop feel.

The Plucking pattern is weird. It should be more like this:
A—4–8–4—-2———3————-
e————-4—-4—-5—-5—-0—3
c————4——-5————0——
g-3—————————————
-1 is the easiest for me
Woo
Em actually works for E in.-1 too
i think where it says fm, play an f because it sounds better.
Very nice song.
I am having a hard time with Db and Gb and I have been practicing for a while, does anyone have a subsitute?
For the tabs I used this pattern:
A——-6–10————————
E———————7——7——-
C——————7—————–
G—-5———8——–7———–
A————————–
E——-8—-8——-3—
C—-8————3——-
G———-8————-3
strum pattern?
i think that -1 sounds like the song and is easier.
