How to play Clara Bow on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. The groove sits around 92 bpm, a medium pace. You are playing it in D major. Chord-wise this is an easy one: everything sits at the novice level. Play softly under the vocal and save any fuller strum for the last verse.

I prefer to only do every other chord on the “you look like…” parts and the “hell on earth to be heavenly” part. The song works well with less instrumentation I think, and it’s nice to let the chords hang in the air a bit
+0 sounds better, but if you have a difficulty playing Bm you could do -2 with capo on second fret. It also sounds ok.
what is the strumming pattern!
