Fingerpicking tab for baritone ukelele
This tab was designed for a baritone ukelele as it's what I have at home. But If you play a soprano or other
ukelele variant, you can still use the chords listed and optionally add in the arpeggios (picking up and
down the chord like I did) where you would like. Or play around to put the notes in a similar order. The
picking for this was inspired by the piano arrangement for the song. It's not identical, but it is inspired
by.
This song in its original form and many arrangements made by others is also generally played with
a loose tempo. There is some push and pull, letting parts slow down in more emotional moments. For the most
part it will stay around that 104-110 bpm tempo, but feel free to slow down or hold pauses where it feels
best for you.
