Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
song: out of luck.
artist: the king blues.
tuning: standard- no capo.
hey the actual recording of the song is played on ukelele so I thought I'd submit my
of the chords which can make it sound more suited to acoustic guitar. I think it sound
good =)!!!!
chords:
G5 =3x0033
G =320033
G5/F#=2x0033
Em7 =022022
C =x3201x
D =xx0232
dsus =xx0233 (<--optional)
VERSE ONE
G5 G G5/F# Em7
with a red scrunchie for a birthday gift
C D Dsus
she pulls her hair into a croydon face-lift
G5 G G5/F# Em7
punch drunk love at sweet sixteen
C D Dsus
she thumbs a ride to Gretna Green
G5 G G5/F# Em7
leaving something old for somewhere new
C D Dsus
to be with some one battered black & blue
G5 G G5/F# Em7
turns her light out with a song to sing
C D Dsus
grabs her shoulder bag & her Argos ring
& she said
CHORUS*
G5 G5/F# Em7
without a penny in my pocket
C D
I'm outta luckin this kind of town
G5 G5/F# Em7
but I got you right by my side
C
so I won't let them
D G5 G5/F# Em7
no I won't let them drag me down----
C D G5
Em7
so I won't let them no i won't let them drag me down----
SECOND VERSE:
he turned from Jack the lad into Jack the dad
his heart was pure but his town was mad he had a
broken heart from a broken home
she heard his breaking voice thru a broken phone
he said for you I'd walk a Swedish mile
for a Glasgow kiss & a Chelsea smile
so he drove 'til it was morning light
the birds will sing him to sleep tonight
& he said (go to chorus)
*note about the chorus:
since all the chords are really easy to change from one to another, it was quite hard to
how i play them. this is an interpretation but it sounds really good for all of us who
play uke.s! l.o.l.
