An Easy Three-Chord Song That's Perfect for Summer Ukulele Strumming

Summer is the perfect time to take our ukuleles outdoors and find a place to strum in the sun. My latest play-along song is a fun one to play indoors or out, and it gives us a lot of flexibility in terms of choosing our tempo. I normally like to play it pretty fast, but for this video I chose to play it at a more relaxed speed.

The Crawdad Song is an easy folk song that helps me channel the chilled-out, carefree vibe I want to last all summer long. In fact, I like this song so much that I included it in my book! For this play-along, I've paired it with the Island Strum and set it in the key of C using the C, F, and G7 chords. If you want to play it in other keys, this video from my April newsletter and my chord chart can help you do just that.
