How to play Today on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the driving 4/4: d – d – d u d u. Expect a medium pace, around 88 bpm. The original recording is in Eb major. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Play the verse clean then dig into straight down-up eighths for the loud chorus.

In Eb (-1) the riff at the beginning is
A|–6—8—6—10p6—-|
E|—-6—6—6——6–|
Unfortunately, this is in the key of E, and the song is in the key of Eb. It’s actually easier for a beginner to play it in Eb. At least for me it’s easier.
+1 for beginner uku players/ Altos
to match the album version, i THINK it’s -1
