Alternative, maybe easier, version:
  • Transpose the chords 2 half steps down [ -2 ]
  • Put a capo on fret 2 to stay in the same key

UKULELE CHORDS

Intro -x4-: Dbm   B   E
 
Dbm       B             E
I know a man with nothing in his hands
Dbm              B       E
Nothing but a rolling stone
Dbm         B               E
He told me bout when his house burnt down
Dbm          B            E
And lost everything he owned
 
 
Dbm      B          E
He lay asleep for six whole weeks
Dbm                       B          E
They were gonna ask his mother to choose
Dbm                     B                E
When he woke up with nothing he said a day is something
Dbm                                 B         E
When youve got nothing youve got nothing to lose
 
 
              A
Now I got a hole in my pocket
    E
a hole in my shirt
    B                       Dbm
a whole lot of troubles he said
     A                      E
But now that its gone well life carries on
       B                          Dbm
And i miss it like a hole in the head
 
Interlude: -x4-: Dbm   B   E
 
Dbm        B          E
I know a woman with kids around her ankles
     Dbm      B     E 
And a baby on her lap
           Dbm          B      E
She said one day her husband went to get a paper
            Dbm        B          E
And the motherxxxxer never came back
Dbm           B        E
Four fees to pay and four kids to raise
     Dbm     B              E
But keeping war from the door
             Dbm            B               E
She said the worlds just a puppy and the doors double locked
    Dbm            B        E
So what ya gotta worry me for
 
 
               A
Now he left a hole in my heart
   E
a hole in a promise
    B                     Dbm
a hole on the side of my bed
     A                      E  
But now that hes gone well life carries on
       B                           Dbm
And i miss him like a hole in the head
 
 
         A                E                   B
Well sometimes you cant change and you cant choose
         A                  E                   B
And sometimes it seems you gain less than you lose
 
 
             Gbm           A
Now we got holes in our hearts
              E            B
Yeah we got holes in our lives
             Gbm            A                E
Well we got holes we got holes but we carry on -x2-
 
 
             Gbm           A
Say we got holes in our hearts
              E            B
Yeah we got holes in our lives
             Gbm            A                E
Well we got holes we got holes but we carry on

Emily

If you exchange the Em7 for an Em(in -2) it sounds more like the actual song. Just a suggestion.

elliebellie1365

-2 has easier chords

Liam

Liam

I agree with Emily too my sis is called that

aeleru

To get the way that the original sounds, put a capo on fret 2. Play A as 6454, D as 7655, E as 444(2), and Gbm7 as normal.
