How to play Delilah on ukulele
On ukulele, Delilah comes down to the waltz: d – d u d –. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 112 bpm. This arrangement is in A minor; the original recording is in E minor. The chords stay at the rookie level, nothing tricky in there. Count in three and swell the strum louder as each verse builds.
