Chords

This version is "interpreted" specifically for ukulele. The recorded version uses guitar power chords which don't translate well to ukulele. There *are* ways to finger power chords on ukulele, but the fingering is awkward, and the chord voice loses it's punch. Accordingly, I've opted to substitute major and minor chords in a way that hopefully retains the feel of the song. [Chords] A 2100 D 2220 F#m 2120 B 4322 C# 6544 [Intro]
          A                        D           F#m
Well I'm starting at an unfamiliar ceiling, and I should leave

          A                            D                   F#m
'cause everybody here's trippin' some new drugs, except for me
N.C. WHY? 'Cause I don't have the money and [Verse 1]
           A                         D
I've been thinking about letting my hair grow

             F#m
I have been thinking about cuttin' it short

             A                        D
I have been thinking about dyeing it yellow

             F#m                                             B
but I don't think I have the bone structure or wardrobe to support

C#            D   E
That kind of look
[Chorus]
            D                   F#m     A
And I will tattoo my poems all over my body

       D                   F#m   A
They won't know who I was before

            D                    F#m     A
And I will cut off my fingers no I.D. to find me

           D                           F#m  
When I am washed up on the New Jersey shore

A
The New Jersey shore
[Interlude] D F#m A D F#m [Verse 2]
         A                   D
Talk to myself too much too often 

        F#m 
Trying hard to figure out 

         A                        D                 F#m
Why the feelings that lie in my stomach are always pushing for my mouth

          A                    D
So I will learn to sleep on my chest

             F#m
And I will learn to let things go

             A                D                        F#m
And I will learn to come to terms with the things that I will never know

      B  C#   D
I'll never know

             E
I will never know
[Chorus]
            D                   F#m     A
And I will tattoo my poems all over my body

       D                   F#m   A
They won't know who I was before

            D                    F#m     A
And I will cut off my fingers no I.D. to find me

           D                           F#m  
When I am washed up on the New Jersey shore

A
The New Jersey shore

I'll take what I can get

      D                                           
I'll take what I am given but 

     F#m                     D
We both know that I'll need more

            F#m
And I will take what I can get

      D
I'll take what I am given but 

    F#m                     D
We both know that I'll need more

           F#m 
And I will take what I can get

      D
I'll take what I am given but

     F#m                     D
We both know that I'll need more

            F#m
And I will take what I can get

      D
I'll take what I am given but 

    F#m                     D
We both know that I'll need more

    B  C#    D              E
So much more, so much more    
[Chorus]
            D                   F#m     A
And I will tattoo my poems all over my body

       D                   F#m   A
They won't know who I was before

            D                    F#m     A
And I will cut off my fingers no I.D. to find me

           D                           F#m  
When I am washed up on the New Jersey shore

A                   D
The New Jersey shore
