Verse 1: E Eb7 B Dbm7 If I leave tomorrow, would you be alright? E Eb7 Would you be filled with sorrow? B Dbm7 Would you put up a fight? E Eb7 B Dbm7 How can I protect you when I don't feel alright? Chorus: E Eb7 If I just vanished, do you think you'd manage? B Dbm7 Or would you disappear right beside me? E Eb7 Do you think you're ready when I go unsteady? B Dbm7 Lover, please prepare for my absence Verse 2: E Eb7 B Dbm7 If I left the country, would you search and search? E Eb7 B Dbm7 Or would you give up easy and find me in the dirt? E Eb7 Would I live forever? B Dbm7 Or blend right into earth? Chorus: E Eb7 If I just vanished, do you think you'd manage? B Dbm7 Or would you disappear right beside me? E Eb7 Do you think you're ready when I go unsteady? B Dbm7 Lover, please prepare for my absence Bridge: E G#sence makes the heart grow stronger Eb7 B Dbm7 Pray my baby will not squander everything to gain by my leaving E And if I can return the favor Eb7 B Dbm7 Pray my baby always savors every moment we were both present Chorus: E Eb7 'Cause if I just vanished, do you think you'd manage? B Dbm7 Or would you disappear right beside me? E Eb7 Do you think you're ready when I go unsteady?

How to play Absence on ukulele
Try the everywhere 4/4 as a starting point: d – d u – u d –. You are playing it in E major. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have 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.
