This is adapted from the guitar version at http://www.jonathancoulton.com/wiki/Lady_Aberlin's_Muumuu/Tabs ,
which contains a number of chords that can't actually be played on the ukulele. I've simplified it and made
a few tweaks along the way.
NOTE:
I find Dm9 (2505) to be particularly hard to switch to for too little payoff; you might instead try
substituting Dm (2210), Dm7 (2213), or Dmadd9 (7500). Similarly, you could get by with D (2220) or
D7 (2223) in place of D9 (5605).
