How to play Norwegian Wood on ukulele
To play Norwegian Wood on ukulele, strum the 6/8 flowing: d – u d – u. The groove sits around 88 bpm, a medium pace. I posted this one in its original key of E major. I rate the chords skilled, a fair middle ground. Flow through the strum in six like a slow gentle waltz.

D DUDU in 3/4 time for strumming
I love how this song is pretty much a literal burn. It’s about Lennon’s affair, and how it ended with burning down her “Norwegian wood” walls (her house/flat).
(isn’t it good, Norwegian wood=isnt it good to BuRn)
what is the strum pattern?
