Only One Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Tracy Chapman
THE ONLY ONE by Tracy Chapman

Note: This is possible the prettiest song on the album, with Emmylou
Harris singing harmony... Anyway, in the parenthese are the hammer-ons
and pull offs she does to reach the next chord. The letters are the string
name, and the numbers the frets.
Hope that makes any sense to anyone other than me... She finger-picks it,
I strum it. Either way works.  - Izzylou 
 
Intro: C..... C, F9 (A-3-2-0-2) C 
C       (A-2-0-2)
She was the only one
F9   (A-3-2-0-2) C
Of my flesh and blood
C        (A-2-0-2)
Now I have no calling
F9      (A-3-2-0-2)  C
I can do no worldly good

F9       Am7     C    (A-2-0-2)
Mmmmmmm, mmmmmm, mmmmm
F9       Am7     Gsus4   F9 (A-3-2-0-2) C
Mmmmmmm, mmmmmm, mmmmm

      F9
I sit silent
       Am7
I sit mourning
       C                F9
I sit listless all the day
      Am7             C
I've mostly lost the voice to speak
         F9
And any words to say except
F9                   (A-3-2-0-2) C
Does heaven have enough angels yet?

F9        Am7     C  
Mmmmmmmm, mmmmmm, mmmmm
F9        Am7     Gsus4    F9 (A-3-2-0-2) C
Mmmmmmmm, mmmmmm, mmmmm

           F9
I've gone hard
              Am7 
And I've gone cold
                  C                           F9
I can't make the pieces of this cracked life fit
         Am7                     C
Please forgive me for wanting to know
F9                   (A-3-2-0-2) C
Does heaven have enough angels yet?

F9         Am7     C     (A-2-0-2)
Mmmmmmmmm, mmmmmm, mmmmm
F9         Am7     Gsus4   F9 (A-3-2-0-2) C
Mmmmmmmmm, mmmmmm, mmmmm

F9           Am7
Together Oh together
    C                      F9
No there'll be no more of that
                 Am7
But I would not dare for myself to ask
F9                   (A-3-2-0-2) C
Does heaven have enough angels yet?

F9         Am7     C     (A-2-0-2)
Mmmmmmmmm, mmmmmm, mmmmm
F9         Am7     Gsus4   F9 (A-3-2-0-2) C
Mmmmmmmmm, mmmmmm, mmmmm

C          (A-2-0-2)
She was the only one
F9    (A-3-2-0-2) C
Of my flesh and blood
C           (A-2-0-2)
Sometimes I hear her calling
F9            (A-3-2-0-2) C 
Straight from the house of God

F9         Am7     C  (A-2-0-2)
Mmmmmmmmm, mmmmmm, mmmmm 
F9         Am7     Gsus4  F9 (A-3-2-0-2) C 
Mmmmmmmmm, mmmmmm, mmmmm
