How to play Because on ukulele

Because is usually fingerpicked on ukulele rather than strummed. If you would rather strum, the whole-bar ballad works as a fallback. The groove sits around 46 bpm, a relaxed pace. The original recording is in C# minor. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Pick the chords as slow arpeggios and let the harmonies breathe.
