How to play Bigmouth Strikes Again on ukulele

On ukulele, Bigmouth Strikes Again comes down to the busy upbeat 4/4: d – d u d u d u. It rolls along at a brisk pace of around 132 bpm. You are playing it in B major. The chords ask a bit more of you, so I rate them proficient. Play fast bright eighths to match the fast ringing guitar.
