A Promise To Distinction Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Swingin Utters
One of my favorite songs that I've been playing for years but have never seen a tab for 
on the internet...

When I post this tab, the chords don't line up with the words anymore, and quite frankly 
I'm not going to f**k around with it and fix it.  you can figure it out.

This tab isn't perfect but I was hoping to just throw it up and see if people add to it.

C
Once I was younger than
          F                           C
The youngest of fragile minds
                                   F
I ate the day with bad manners
                             C
Then spit out the rind

        Am                     C
And mother, mother told me
     Am                      C
As I looked to the sky
Am                      C                  F             C
Yes my mother told me, "my dear son,
                          C
You're not the one"


C                       F                   C
I flew home when I was just 21
                                        F                   C
Young enough to be the father of someone
                   F                                      C
I've got a conch p**sed with conch republic rum

My father by my side, teary-eyed, he said:

Am            C              F                 C
"Son, by God, what I could have done,
Am              C
And you're just like me
                  F                    C
You can, really put 'em down
F             C                    C
If I was in your place, I'd stay, have fun"
F         C                      C
               But I'm not the one

C                       F
Now I'm sittin' here
                         C
Haggling over sums
                              F
Money made by someone else
    C                     F
To me, it don't belong
C                           F
I toss a smile to the mighty boss
C              F
He's my God
C                  F
But I'm a bit backwards
        C                            F
And I know he's just a f**kin' dog

Am                             C
And mother, mother told me,
Am                        C
As I looked to the sky
Am           C                  F                  C
Yes my mother told me my dear son
                          C         F
"You're not the one"
                        C          F
"you're not the one"
                      C           F
You're not the one"
                       C            F
You're not the one"
