How to play You Lie on ukulele
On ukulele, You Lie comes down to the driving 4/4: d – d – d u d u. Expect a medium pace, around 100 bpm, with a light swing to it. You are playing it in Eb minor. The chords ask a bit more of you, so I rate them proficient. 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. Dig into the downstrokes on 1 and 3 to get the stomp.
