How to play East Side of Sorrow on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the driving 4/4: d – d – d u d u. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 120 bpm. This arrangement is in Bb major. The chords stay at the rookie level, nothing tricky in there. For easier shapes, shift it down 3 half-steps with the transposer and clip a capo on fret 3 to land back in the same key. Strum harder for the last section; the band opens right up at the end.
