Livin' On A Prayer

Chords

Standard

I just transposed this from a guitar tab I found, but it definitely sounds right. It sounds a bit high on a uke, but that can't be helped.

It's not too hard, most experienced uke players should be able to master it within a couple play-throughs.

So here's the main bass riff:

A|---7---5-------5-|
E|-0---7---0-0-7---|
C|-----------------|
G|-----------------|

This just repeats over and over again through most of the song.

The chords are pretty simple, just replace the Em chord with the bass riff.

Intro Em C D.....
Oce upon A time not so long ago

(Em)Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike 
He's down on his luck....it's (C) tough, (D) so (Em) tough
