Truth About Us Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Skydiggers
Can't find the lyrics anywhere, so I did my best, been wanting to play this for a 
long time, sounds about right to me.  
the D is a C chord shape slid up to the 5th fret like so (at least, thats what is done live).  
Listen to the song for pace/strum pattern, I tried to get the chords lined up on 
exactly the right words, 
but where I put them and this tab submission thing puts them are two very different places.

 F
e- 0
B- 3
G- 0
D- 4
A- 5
E- x
