[Intro]: Am C G D Am C G Am
AmThere is whisky in the wCater,G and there is death upon the vDine
AmThere is fear in the eyes of yourC father,G and there is yours and there is mAmine
AmThere is a desert veiled in pCavement,G and there's a city of seven hDills
AmOur debris flows to the ocCean,G to meet again, I hope it wAmill
How cFould sometC/Ehing so fGair, be so crAmuel
When thFis black C/Esun revGolved, around yAmou
[Interlude]: Am C G D
AmThere is an answer in a qCuestion,G and there is hope within despDair
AmThere is beauty in a fCailure,G and there are depths beyond compAmare
AmThere is a role of a lifeCtime,G and there's a song yet to be sDung
AmAnd there's a dumpster in the drCiveway,G of all the plans that came undAmone
How cFould sometC/Ehing so fGair, be so crAmuel
When thFis black C/Esun revGolved, around yAmou
How cFould sometC/Ehing so fGair, be so crAmuel
When thFis black C/Esun revGolved, around yAmou
[Interlude]: Am C G D Am C G Am
AmThere is whisky in the wCater,G and there is death upon the vDine
AmAnd there is grace within forgCiveness,G but it's so hard for me to fAmind
How cFould sometC/Ehing so fGair, be so crAmuel
When thFis black C/Esun revGolved, around yAmou
How cFould sometC/Ehing so fGair, be so crAmuel
When thFis black C/Esun revGolved, around yAmou

Chordname (G C E A)
Information:
Since the D is really a D5 on guitar (which doesn't work as well playing chords on ukulele) you can
choose between a D and Dm (2 2 1 0), personally I think the D rings better with the vocal melody,
but Dm is more "correct" based on the notes in the key
If anyone really wants to learn the melody parts arranged for ukulele on tablature just leave a
comment or send me a message asking nicely and I can add it later on
