How to play I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) on ukulele
It runs d u d u. The groove sits around 131 bpm, a brisk pace. I posted this one in its original key of E major. Chord-wise this is an easy one: everything sits at the rookie level. Drive down-up eighths right through and lean into the big chorus singalong.

I get that on -4 and it´s easy and sounds great 😉
Original tab sounds great, +1 sounds a bit weird unless you stress the A string on the C chord. I do +1 because E makes my wrist cry. Thanks for a great tab!
