Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day EASY Ukulele Tutorial Taught by a Music Teacher

Hi! Today we are learning how to play Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day. This is a beautiful song with easy chords and a straight-forward strumming pattern. I recommend you watch the tutorial the first time without playing your ukulele so that you can see everything I'm doing and watch it a second time with your ukulele playing along!

Here's the breakdown for this song:

Chords used in the intro and verses
Em G D A

Chords used in the chorus
C G D Em

Strumming pattern used throughout the song
DDDDU (once per chord)
