How to play Octopus’s Garden on ukulele
On ukulele, Octopus’s Garden comes down to the island strum: d – d u – u d u. Expect a medium pace, around 120 bpm, with a light swing to it. I posted this one in its original key of E major. The chords put it squarely at the skilled level. Swing the down-up strum for its bouncy shuffle feel.
