You Held The World In Your Arms Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Idlewild
Idlewild "You Held The World In Your Arms"

I looked at all of the tabs and put the best parts
together.  This sounds right to me, but the pre-verse
may be a little off.  I added some lyrics to help with
the timing.  It sounds fine if you play the other two
strings open but always mute the E string.

That's all you need to know, the pattern pretty much repeats.
