Intro: Gbm Gbm7 D A

Verse 1:
Gbm                     Gbm7
Simona, you're getting older
               D
your journey's been
               A    E
etched on your skin
Gbm                 Gbm7
Simona, wish I had known that
              D
what seems so strong
             E  Db
has been and gone

Chorus:
   Gbm
I would call you up every day Saturday night
         Gbm7
And we'd both stayed out 'til the morning light
         D               A     E
And we sang, "Here we go again"
            Gbm
And though time goes by

I will always be

Simona
           Gbm7
Wish I was sober
                  D
So I could see clearly now
             A   E
The rain has gone
Gbm
Simona
             Gbm7
I guess it's over
            D
My memory plays our tune
             E   Db
The same old song

Chorus:
   Gbm
I would call you up everyday Saturday night
         Gbm7
And we'd both stayed out 'til the morning light
         D               A     E
And we sang, "Here we go again"
            Gbm
And though time goes by

How to play 1973 on ukulele

The strumming pattern that fits is the driving 4/4: d – d – d u d u. Expect a brisk pace, around 140 bpm. You are playing it in Gb minor. I rate the chords skilled, a fair middle ground. Play steady even strums and let the chorus flow.
