How to play Tap Out on ukulele

The strumming pattern that fits is the busy upbeat 4/4: d – d u d u d u. The groove sits around 118 bpm, a medium pace. On this page the song is in Db minor. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Play the up strums light so the fast eighths stay even.
