The strumming pattern that fits is the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. Expect a relaxed pace, around 76 bpm. As posted it stays in its original key of G major. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Strum the verses loosely and ease off before each orchestral build.

How was this arrangement?
Your rating helps other players find the best arrangements
For the “I’d love to turn you on” part I recommend C, Cm7, C7, and Am, it sounds really nice!
For the part where it says I love to turn you on and in the actual song it gets really wierd, I like to just bar all the strings then move it down the neck, it sounds pretty cool I like it
What kind of strumming pattern does everyone use for this song, because I’ve just been doing DD but I want to use a strumming pattern that sounds more like the song
Is there anything I can replace Asus2 with?
If you find the B7sus4, Dsus2 an Asus2 hard you can change them to B7, D and A I find it a lot easier
I love this song and it is even better with the uke. I could never have learned to play without this site. Thanks Uke tabs.com!!
