Dm C I guess you could call it text book Gm I was looking for the father Dm I wanted back Dm C And I thought I found it in Brentwood Gm It seemed only appropriate you'd easily A7 had my back Dm F And then there was the issue of her C I didn't even like myself, Gm or love the life I had Dm And there you were with shinin' stars F Standin' clear with open arms C You touched the detriment, Gm most of the friends I knew already had Chorus: A# F You've got a Thunderbird, my daddy had one too C Dm Let's rewrite his story, I'll do this dance with you A# You know I'm not that girl F You know I'll never be C Dm Maybe just the way we're different could set me free A# And there we were, screamin' F "Black Lives Matter" in a crowd C by the Old Man River Dm And I saw you saw who I am A# F God, I wish I was with my father, C he could see us in all our splendor Dm All the things I couldn't want for him A# F I screamed for them, oh, oh, oh C Dm And screamed for them, ah Could we do this dance again? Do you think if I go blonde, we could get our old love back? I guess this is really the end I never felt jealous before this year, but I'm jealous now People say we're too much alike But maybe, finally, that'll make it right In the end of all these sleepless nights Other men I met felt right Would smile at you and stick a knife In your back Finally, I met you so I'm not wonderin' why Chorus A# F Old Man River keeps rollin' C With or without him Dm A# Old Man River keeps rollin' F C Without him, oh my old man Dm A# F C Old Man River keeps rollin', oh | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA# A7 C Dm F Gm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
