5 ukulele chords used in "Tangled In Ropes" by Holy Locust: Am, Bm, D, Em and G
Heavy, tired and “Poor”
“Love” made of wax
Uncovered “Truths” untold
“Here’s a cent or two, to buy a bus ticket home.”
Though a hundred degrees, “He felt so cold”
This is what I hear, makes more sense narrative wise too
