Intro: Am Em G D Verse: Am Em I was perched outside in the pouring rain trying to make myself a sail G D Then I'll float to you my darlin' with the evening on my tail Am Em Although not the most honest means of travel It gets me there nonetheless G D I'm a heartless man at worst, babe and a helpless one at best Chorus: Am Em Darling I'll bathe your skin I'll even wash your clothes G D Just give me some candy, before I go Am Em Oh, darling I'll kiss your eyes and lay you down on your rug G D Just give me some candy after my heart Verse: Am Em Oh I'm often false explaining but to her it plays out all the same G D And although I'm left defeated it get's held against my name Am Em I know you got plenty to offer baby but I guess I've taken quite enough G D Well I'm some stain there on your bedsheet you're my diamond in the rough Chorus: Am Em Darling I'll bathe your skin I'll even wash your clothes G D Just give me some candy, before I go Am Em Oh, darling I'll kiss your eyes and lay you down on your rug G D Just give me some candy after my heart Interlude: [Chords as chorus without vocals in first three lines.] [Last line of the verse with these words.] G D G I know that the writings on the wall Chorus: Am Em Darling I'll bathe your skin I'll even wash your clothes G D Just give me some candy, before I go Am Em Oh, darling I'll kiss your eyes and lay you down on your rug G D Just give me some candy after my heart Outro: C G C Em Oh I'll be there waiting for you I'll be there waiting for you C G C Em Oh I'll be there waiting for you I'll be there waiting for you C G C Em Oh I'll be there waiting for you I'll be there waiting for you C G C Em Oh I'll be there waiting for you I'll be there waiting for you C G C Em Oh I'll be there waiting for you I'll be there waiting for you C G C Em Oh I'll be there waiting for you I'll be there waiting for you ( no chords ) All you do is keep me waiting and waiting This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

How to play Candy on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the island strum: d – d u – u d u. Expect a relaxed pace, around 76 bpm. You are playing it in E minor. I rate the chords skilled, a fair middle ground. Open from light verses into fuller strums when the chorus lifts
