I'm using D-UD pattern.
I agree with other commenters that E7 sounds better than Em here.

It really does sound a whole lot better when you change the Em chord to E7, and much closer to the original song

This is the first song I've learned to play on my ukulele. I tried out another version of this song, but it didn't sound right; it was too simple. This version follows the melody of the original work better. Thanks so much!
