Chords
When transitioning from the Bm to the Em, I find that it sounds nice to sometimes use Emadd2 (0422) as a
transition chord by shifting your ring finger from the G to the C string and hammering on from 2 to 3 on the
E string.
Chords with an asterisk indicate a single strum.
Listen to the song to get a feel for how he varies the rhythms. I find that the rhythm for the
D Dsus4 D transitions works well for me as follows with the * indicating a pull off from 3 to 2 on the
E string:
D Dsus4 D U U D U D U U U D *
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
The intro tab is different than the other ukulele intro tabs because I find that it makes it easier to play
if you think about the whole intro as pivoting around an Em chord shape (0432) with the second finger staying
on fret 3 of the E string through the entire intro.
Note that the intro repeats and the notes in parentheses are only played the second time through.

Em C G Well, you only need the light when it's burning low D Em Only miss the sun when it starts to snow C G D Only know you love her when you let her go C G Only know you've been high when you're feeling low D Em Only hate the road when you're missin' home C G Only know you love her when you let her go D And you let her go
