Alternative, maybe easier, version:
  • Transpose the chords 3 half steps down [ -3 ]
  • Put a capo on fret 3 to stay in the same key

UKULELE CHORDS

Verse 1:
Eb
I was all alone, we were young, you were like wine
Eb
Heady as the fog rolling in o'er the hillside
Ab
Lovely as the song in the air as the wind blows
Fm7                                       Cm
Opiate as the cold of the frost on the windows
Ab                                         Eb
Lo, the rose is gone from my eyes so deceiving
Fm7                                 Ab  Eb
So, my little dove, I'm afraid I am leaving

Interlude: Eb5

Verse 2:
     C                                      C -strum hard 7 times-
Now, I am not the fool I was when I was younger
C                                      C -strum hard 7 times-
Crocodile eyes, I have seen how you hunger
F                                        F -strum hard 7 times, first one is double-
Fluttering your lashes, like ashes and embers
Fm7                                  Cm
Warm and bright as fire devouring timber
Ab                                               Eb
No, I cannot trust what you say when you're grieving
Fm7                                     Ab  Eb
So, my love, I'm sorry, but still: I am leaving

Interlude: Eb5

Verse 3:
Ab                                     Ab
Even when you hunt me with ire, relentless
Fm7                                         Cm   Csus2 Cm
Batter down my door when you find me defenseless
Ab                                       Eb
I will not abide all your raging and reaving
Fm7   -strum once-                           Eb
I have set my mind and my will: I am leaving
