Chords

An arrangement specifically for baritone ukulele, based on Version 2 for guitar. This arrangement is re-keyed with some chord adjustments to make it simpler to play. The simplified chords will also work okay on guitar. Transpose +5 to play this version on soprano, concert and tenor ukulele. [Verse 1]
        Dmaj7                  Gmaj7      Em9         G/A       Bm7
There's nothing you can do to turn me away, nothing anyone can say,

       G#m7     Ddim7       F#m7
You're with me now, and, as long as you stay,

 B7sus4                          Emaj7
Loving you's the right thing to do,
(Loving you's the right thing!)
 Em7              G/A  Em7/A
Loving you's the right thing!
[Verse 2]
Em7/A
Wo oh oh-oh,

  Dmaj7                               Gmaj7
I know you've had some bad luck with ladies before,

     Em9               G/A           Bm7
They drove you, or you drove them, crazy,

             G#m7        Ddim7            F#m7
But, more im-portant is I know you're the one, and I'm sure

B7sus4                           Emaj7
Loving you's the right thing to do!

 Em7              G/A  Em7/A
Loving you's the right thing!
[Bridge]
Em7/A  Em7     Em7         A/D   A/D
And it used to be, for a while,

         Bm7                 Am7   D7
That the river flowed right to my door,

Em7     Em7      A/D        A/D
Making me just a little too free,

            Bm7                     Am7     D7     G
But now the river doesn't seem to stop here any - more!
[Break] C G G G/A G/A G/A Em7/A Em7/A Em7/A [Verse 3]
Dmaj7                        Gmaj7             Em9
Hold me in your hands like a bunch of flowers,

          G/A         Bm7
Set me moving to your sweetest song,

      G#m7       Ddim7       F#m7
And I know what I think I've known all along,

 B7sus4                          Emaj7
Loving you's the right thing to do,

 Em7             G/A   Em7/A
Loving you's the right thing!
[Outro]
Em7/A                            Dmaj7   G/A
Loving you's the right thing to do,

                         Dmaj7   G/A
It's the right thing to do,

                              Dmaj7
Nothing you can ever do will turn me away from you,

   G/A                 Dmaj7
I love you now, and I love you now,

 G/A                             Dmaj7
Even though you're ten thousand miles away,

      G/A                     Dmaj7
I'll love you tomorrow, as I love you today,

       G/A       Dmaj7
I'm in love, ba--abe,

        G/A               Dmaj7
I'm in love with you, ba--abe,

       G/A                  Dmaj7
Wo ho-oh! Wo ho-oh! Wo ho, wo ho, wo-oh!

       G/A                   Dmaj7
Wo oh, wo oh, wo oh, wo oh, wo oo-wo!

        Gmaj7     Dmaj7               Gmaj7
Wo oh, ho oh ho! Wo oo oh!    Let's close now!
(The right thing to do!) Dmaj7 Dmaj7
