There’s a very good reason why Julia Nunes went for a chord-based version when she covered this tune – the riff is a nightmare to play on uke.
It’s not in the same key as the original and slightly adapted. I’ve used harmonics for the notes at the 12 fret to buy a bit of time but you can just fret them normally if you prefer.
robe: Thanks for the tab. Easier, I’d agree with. More accurate, I wouldn’t.
julia nunes is awesome and so are you WOODSHED!
Does anyone know how Julia Nunes plays her version? Can’t seem to figure it out.
what key is the original in?
Couldn’t you just post the up the chords that Julia Nunes did when she covered this song? It’s a great cover and I’m sure a lot of people would enjoy learning how to play it, seeing as there is an earlier comment that also talks about how to play this song like her.
Sorry, I’m a compelete beginner at this, but what does the little diamond sign between the twelve and the zero mean?
Draco: They’re harmonics. There’s a link in the post.
If you are having trouble getting to the 12th fret for the harmonics I find using pinch harmonics works well. It means you can keep your left hand in the one place as well which is always a bonus. Also it looks rather impressive at full speed.
Great tab Woodshed keep playing :)
UkuleleMan: Thanks for the tip!

I found it more easier and even more accurate (for my ear) to play it:
|———–10—–12—–10—–|
|——–7——7——7——-7-|
|——————————–|
|—-0—————————|
And so on with other parts.:)
