Dbm                   E
I want to live where soul meets body
Dbm                       E
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
Dbm                         E
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
    B                              Dbm
And feel, feel what its like to be new


                           E
Cause in my head there’s a greyhound station
Dbm                          E
Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations
Dbm                           E
So they may have a chance of finding a place
              B
where they’re far more suited than here


Dbm                  E
I cannot guess what we'll discover
Dbm                        E
We turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
      Dbm                       E
But I know our filthy hand can wash one another’s
    B
And not one speck will remain


Dbm   E            B
I do believe it’s true
               Dbm            E           B
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
       Dbm            E
If the silence takes you
       B
Then I hope it takes me too


      Dbm         Dbm    E  Dbm       Dbm     
Where soul meets body                   
      Dbm         Dbm    E
Where soul meets body
B
Where soul meets body


Dbm   E            B
I do believe it’s true
               Dbm            E           B
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
       Dbm            E
If the silence takes you
       B
Then I hope it takes me too


   Dbm           E        B
So brown eyes I hold you near
                 Dbm          E       B
Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
      Dbm        E       B
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere


(Strum lightly)
      Dbm        E       B
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere       
      Dbm        E       B
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

How to play Soul meets body on ukulele

The strumming pattern that fits is the driving 4/4: d – d – d u d u. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 110 bpm. This arrangement is in Db minor. This one leans on trickier shapes, with the chords at the proficient level. Want friendlier shapes? Drop it 4 half-steps, then a capo on fret 4 restores the key you see here. Drive steady eighth-note strums to match the song's jangly forward push.
