Tuning: G C E A

This song is frequently played starting on B, but it sounds very good in this key as well and it is much simpler to play on the ukulele. To play in B using these chords, tune down a half-step. The F C Dm7 C at the beginning of verse 2 gives the walkdown effect leading into the C (2 beats for the F, 1 beat for each of the other notes). That same walkdown can also be used in other places in the song. When I play this I sometimes alternate between C and Csus4 instead of just C for the intro. [Intro] C [Verse 1]
