How to play This Charming Man on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the busy upbeat 4/4: d – d u d u d u. The groove sits around 150 bpm, a brisk pace. On this page the song is in D major. I rate the chords skilled, a fair middle ground. Play it bright and fast letting the up strokes ring like the guitar riff.

-2 transposed is so much easier!
I like to add a little twist to most songs I play, and with this song I personally prefer to transpose it +1, it’s easier and sounds slightly unique from the original.
However, my mum (a diehard Smiths fan) prefers the original, but to each their own
i just skip the e. i don’t mind with or without but it’s slightly easier to play
i rearranged the chords a little bit and stuck to the basic a, d, gbm, and e too bad none of my friends know this song
