Working For The Weekend Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Loverboy
Working for the Weekend - Loverboy
Submitted by Garrick Sissons
(My first submission)

This work is my own interpretation of chords that should work to do the song on 
acoustic guitar by oneself. The "riff" chords are optional.  I actually start 
singing it at half-speed and gradually speed up through the song and the audiences 
seem to find it interesting and amusing. Not a song people expect to hear acoustically.  :)
 
Capo +2 for Original Key (of B)
(But if you are not a real decent tenor or a female then I suggest notching it 
down like I have it here)
