I have transposed this down a whole note and into the key of C. It just makes it much easier to play on the ukulele as we can have the open C note ring out and fill the space.  The tricky part of this song is the pull off on the 8th fret of the A string. You want to get your hands in a position so you use your pinky finger to perform the pull off.
