my first tab i did this for a tenor in gCEA tuning 
also sounds good on my low g and c uke maybe better even


Dm   C       Bb          F 
I'll fake it through the day
          Dm*                     Gm
With some help from Johnny Walker Red
         F      Am   C        Bm
Send the poison rain down the drain
   F                      A (Fill here**)
To put bad thoughts in my head 

Dm  C       Bb      F
Two tickets torn in half
      Dm*               Gm
And a lot of nothin' to do
       F    C  Bb   F  G
Do you miss me Miss Misery
         Bb      F
Like you say you do

Ab           Cm
A man in the park
         F           Ab
Read the lines on my hand
           Cm
Told me I'm strong
            C
Hardly ever wrong I said

Man you mean

Dm      C         Bb      F
You had plans for both of us
     Dm*                    Gm
That involved a trip out of town
     F          Am        C   Bb
To a place I've seen in a magazine
     F                 A (Fill here**)
That you'd left lyin' around

Dm      C        Bb   
I don't have you with me
F     Dm*             Gm
But I keep a good attitude
       F    C   Bb   F  G
Do you miss me, Miss Misery
         Bb      F
Like you say you do

Dm                         Bb
I know you'd rather see me gone
        F          G7         Bm
Than to see me the way that I am
                 C         A7
But I am in your life any way

Dm   C        Bb  F
Next door the TVs flashing
Dm*                Gm
Blue frames on the wall
       F   Am    C          Bb
It's a comedy of errors you see
      F             A (Fill here**)
It's about taking a fall

Dm    C     Bb   F   Dm*
To vanish into oblivion
             Gm
It's easy to do
      F        C          Bb
And I tried to be but you know me
F      G             Bb      F   C
I come back when you want me to.
       F    C   Bb   F  G
Do you miss me, Miss Misery
         Bb      F
Like you say you do

Chords used: (string order is 4321)
Dm (2210) C (0003) Bb (3211) F (2010) Gm (0765) Am (2000) 
A (2100) A7 (0100)G (0232) Ab (1343) Cm (5333)
use the Cm here or it wont sound quite right the Ab and Gm dont matter

*these Dm are Gm7add9 I think but I dont know that chord on
the uke I substituted Dm for my lack of knowledge. 
it stillsounds close enuf for me

** the fill I use here is a switch from A to A7 and then
finishing on Dm which starts the next verse in all 3 cases.

Once again I just dont know what the actual fill is so I
improvise something easy that works well enuf

if any one comes up with these let me know - Topher

Ballad Of Big Nothing

Verse 1

                C             Am
He's pleased to meet you underneath the horse
          C                 Am
In the cathedral with the glass stained black
          C                   Am
Singing sweet high notes that echo back
Ab                    G7
To destroy their master
          C                 Am
May be a long time till you get the call-up
          C                Am
But it's sure as fate and hard as your luck
C          Ab             G   D
No-one'll know where you are

Chorus

             C     Am   Fmaj7          G
It's just a brief smile crossing your face
         C     Am    Fmaj7        G
Running speed trials standing in place

Verse 2

          C              Am
When the socket's not a shock enough
            C                    Am
You little child what makes you think you're tough?
              C                Am
When all the people you think you're above
Ab                           G7
They all know what's the matter
               C                Am
You're such a pinball yeah you know it's true
                C                     Am
There's always something you go back running to
C              Ab     G           D
To follow the path of no resistance

Chorus

             C     Am   Fmaj7          G
It's just a brief smile crossing your face
         C      Am   Fmaj7        G
Running speed trials standing in place
             Am    F     C            G
It's just a brief smile crossing your face
         Am     F   C              G
Running speed trials all over the place

Ending

Play these chords to fade-out while Elliott sings "Oooh-ooh-ohh", etc.:

Am  F  C  G

During the part where the words are "No one'll know where you are", you might try:

Ab         Eb           F    G
No one'll know where you are

Same for "To follow the path of no resistance"

Neither one is completely right, I don't think, but maybe each is part right.

       D              A               E            G
And to march down the street like the duracell bunny

       D          A             E     G
With a wink and a wave from the cavalcade

D            A          E             G
Throwing out candy that looks like money

F#7                   Bm         A          E*         G           F#7*  
   To people passing by that all seem to be going the other way

A              D         A            E       G
Said won't you follow me down to the rose parade?

-----

        D      A        E              G
Tripped over a dog in a choke-chain collar

D           A            E             G
People were shouting and pushing and saying

           D        A           E             G
And when I traded a smoke for a food stamp dollar

    D        A        E                G
A ridiculous marching band started playing

F#7                     Bm        A         E*       G              F#7*
    And got me singing 'long with some half-hearted victory song

-----

A           D         A           E        G
  Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?

Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?

Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?

-----

    D           A      E            G
The trumpet has obviously been drinking

          D          A        E          G
'Cos he's fucking up even the simplest lines

    D          A            E              G
I'd say it's a sight that's quite worth seeing

               D          A           E               G
It's just that everyone's interest is stronger than mine

F#7                        Bm                 A    E* 
   And when they clean the street I'll be the only shit

         G             F#7*
that's left behind

A           D         A           E       G

Open your parachute and grab your gun

Float down like an omen, a setting sun

Read the part and return at five

And dead men talk to all the pretty nurses
 Em                      C
Instruments shine on a silver tray

      G          D         G
Don't let me get carried away

F#m7              D#       DM7                    A      G#
the bleeding color gone to black dying like a day
 
F#7               Bm                      A   G 
couldn't figure out what made you so unhappy

shook your head to say no no no

with the one i keep where it never fades
 
          D              C              Bm
in the safety of a pitch black mind
 
        A   G           F#         E
an airless cell that blocks the day

photographs of moving parts about to implode
if i crawl to keep it together like you say you know i can do

I've never actually seen a completely correct tab for this song anywhere online, and I'm not
saying that mine is 100% correct, but it sounds right to me.  Email me with any corrections.

turning traffic away

Intro: G#

C#	      G#		   C#
It's a junkie dream makes you so uptight

	       G#		      C#
Yeah it's Halloween tonight and every night

		      G#		  C#
Hear you scratch your skin your sandpaper throat

		  G#		       C#
You're a symphony man with one fucking note

		 G#	       C#
Charlie beat you up week after week

		  G#			  C#
And when you grow up you're going to be a freak

	       G#	  A		F#
Want a violent girl who's not scared of anything

E  F#  G#  	   E	   E
	   Help me kill my time

F#  G#		   E	    E
	Cause I'll never be fine

F#  G#		   E	   E	F#  G#
	   Help me kill my time

You went down to look at old Dallas town
Where you must be sick just to hang around
Seen it on TV how to kill your man
Then like Gacy's scene a canvas in your hand
You better call your mom she's out looking for you
In the jail and the army and the hospital too
But those people there couldn't do anything for you

Help me kill my time
Cause I'll never be fine
Help me kill my time
Help me kill my time
Help me kill my time
Cause I'll never be fine
Help me kill my time

Some Song

Needle In The Hay - EP

Intro: D   
        
            D                    G
 There was grown man dying from fright
       Bm                        E
 so surprised at the things he'd say
          D            G
 With a giant fantasy life
          Bm                E
 running 'round on feet of clay

   D      G             D      G
 Naked except for a perpetual debt
         Bm          A      G
 that couldn't be stripped away
         D        G          D         G
 An unrightable wrong that moved him along 
   D           A     D      A
 closer to division day

 Spent a long time living with that
 Never could give it a name
 And when you don't know what you're looking at
 it makes it much harder to take
 Mostly they'd meet when he was
 asleep and have some sick exchange
 that stuck him as wrong and moved him along
 closer to division day

  Solo (chorus pattern)

 I can't make an exception for a bad
 connection that only goes one way
 sell out for a song where I don't belong
 with you on division day

 The moon stood up on the ridge
 looking down where the water shines
 and a man looking over the bridge
 like he done so many times
 Thinking about how to stay out
 Out of troubles way and
 Flying to fall away from you all
 It's over division day
 Beautiful division day

  Solo #2

 Thinking about how to stay out
 Out of troubles way
 Flying to fall away from you all
                     Bm
 It's over,division day
  G          A      D
 Beautiful division day

De nada dudes ya
Hey, honestamente te explicaré 
de natural modo cada fenómeno
El mar, el sol, el gas, 
oh, ese es Maui hablando de más
Anguilas que, yo las enterré, 
de la palmera los cocos creé
Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy

You were staying out all night and I had enough

Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C

Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness

(Verse)
Em              G                                     
47 millionaires on a ship with marble squares

Licking up their lollipops
A           C
No one ever interrupts
Em              G                           
47 millionaires on a ship with marble squares

Playing with their teddy bears

talking 'bout the rising fares
Em              G                            
47 millionaires on a ship with marble squares

Whistling to their favorite song
A                  C
Dancing, laughing, all night long
Em              G                             
47 millionaires on a ship with marble squares 
D
Praying to the morning sun 
A                  C      Em
Talking with their golden tongue

(Pre-chorus)
      G            D      Em  
And I wished I was one of them
      G            D      Em
And I wished I was one of them

(Chorus)
    C                            G
I'd love to be a millionaire, I wished I had a golden mare
    D                                  Em
And I would waste my precious time, by looking for the perfect rime
C                           G
Life is easy, life is good, it would be like Hollywood
   D            C      Em
If I could be a millionaire

(Verse)
Em              G                           
47 millionaires on a ship with marble squares
      D
There was a wave, that killed 
             A            C
Them all and now the lollipops are gone
Em              G                           
47 millionaires on a ship with marble squares
D
Travelling to the Nowhere-Land
A                     C     Em
Where nasty pleasures never end

(Pre-chorus)
      G            D      Em 
And I wished I was one of them 
      G            D      Em
And I wished I was one of them

(Bridge)
    Em          D               Em        D              Em           
Hey tell me how can it be, that money can set you free,  tell me 
    D               C         D
How can it be, that money can set you

Em          D               Em        D              Em           
Tell me how can it be, that money can set you free,  tell me 
    D               C         D
How can it be, that money can set you,  
C         D        Em
Money can set you free

(Chorus)
    C                            G
I'd love to be a millionaire, I wished I had a golden mare
    D                                  Em
And I would waste my precious time, by looking for the perfect rime
C                           G
Life is easy, life is good, it would be like Hollywood
   D            C      Em
If I could be a millionnaire
        D            C      Em
If only I could be a millionaire
