Terrible Things


These are ukulele tabs because I couldn't find them anywhere. Theyre not perfect (a low C is missing that the capo was in the way of)but they work and its a beautiful song and the uke is a beautiful instrument. Also THis is my first time tabbing plucking and not only chords so I’m sorry if I have other mistakes that I dont know about. CAPO: 1 (Tabs are in relation to capo) Intro: A|---------| E|---0-----| C|-0---2---|(X4) G|---------| A|---------| E|---1-0---| C|-0-------|(X2) G|---------| A|-------------------------| E|---0---------------0-----| C|-0---2-0-2-------0---2---|(X1) :P G|-----------0-2-4---------| Either play this again and only atart strumming at “She said...” C(first plucking) Am By the time I was your age I’d give anything to fall in love truly F(change plucking) was all I could think, that’s when I met your mother the girl of my dreams, G(third plucking) the most beautiful woman that I’d ever seen. C She said, “Boy can I tell you a wonderful thing?” Am “I can’t help but notice you staring at me, F I know I shouldn’t say this, but I really believe, G I can tell by your eyes that you’re in love with me.” F G Am F G Now son, I’m only telling you this because life can do terrible things. C Now most of the time we’d have too much to drink Am and we’d laugh at the stars and share everything. F Too young to notice and too dumb to care, G love was a story that couldn’t compare. C I said girl can I tell you a wonderful thing? Am “I made you a present with paper and string, F open with care now, I’m asking you please, G you know that I love you, will you marry me?” F G Am F G Now son, I’m only telling you this because life can do terrible things. F G Am F G You’ll learn one day, and I hope and I pray that God shows you differently. C She said, “Boy can I tell you a terrible thing? Am “It seems that I’m sick and I’ve only got weeks. F Please don’t be sad now, I really believe, G You were the greatest thing that ever happened to me.” F G Am Slow, so slow, I fell to the ground on my knees. C So don’t fall in love there’s just too much to lose Am if you’re given the choice, I’m begging you choose to F walk away, walk away, G don’t let it get you, I can’t bare to see the same happen to you. F G Am F G Now son, I’m only telling you this because life can do terrible things.
