Dark As The Black Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Serena Ryder
On the record this song is in the key F major but I've seen her play it live
in key G major which I think is easier to play, so that's what I'm gonna 
post here. If you want to play along with the record, just play F instead of
F, D# instead of Fadd9, F instead of G and Gm instead of Am.

Intro: F F | Fadd9 F | Fadd9 Fadd9 | G (4 bars)

          F                        Fadd9 F
There's a crack in the ground from Water-loo,
        Fadd9     G
All the way to Arizona
      F                   Fadd9       F
I can see from the fire escape outside
     Fadd9            G             Am
That helped me get to know you

                 Fadd9
What was it like,
     G                   F
When I was in your life?
    G                      F
Did my touch feel the same?
             G
As your touch it felt so good to me,
                          Am
It felt so good to me

          G          F
One world, One love,
                        Fadd9           Am
means nothing if you're just pretending
          G          F
One World, One Love,
                   Fadd9
There's nothing to good intentions
Am               G                            Am
Dark as the black in the cracks in the ground.

          F                        Fadd9 F
There's a crack in the ground from Tennessee
        Fadd9      G
All the way to Caledonia
      F                  Fadd9        F
I can see by the way the silence rings
    Fadd9         G        Am
and echoes in the corners.

              Fadd9
How many times 
G                 F
you wanted to cry,
    G                  F
but you kept it inside
          G                    
Now the silence echoes deafening,
                           Am
Its much too loud for me.

          G          F
One world, One love,
                        Fadd9           Am
means nothing if you're just pretending
          G          F
One World, One Love,
                   Fadd9
There's nothing to good intentions
Am               G                            Am
Dark as the black in the cracks in the ground.

F F | Fadd9 F | Fadd9 Fadd9 | G G |
F F | Fadd9 F | Fadd9 Fadd9 | G (4 bars)

          F                        Fadd9   F
There's a crack in the ground from old New York,
        Fadd9       G
all the way to Minnesota
      F                  Fadd9          F
I can see by the way ten thousand lakes
    Fadd9              G      Am
are screaming for more water

                 Fadd9
Give us some hope
   G                 F
we haven't got enough
   G                        F
to keep ourselves filled up
              G
when you drink us empty, drink us dry,
                            Am
then ask us why we're dry


          G          F
One world, One love,
                        Fadd9           Am
means nothing if you're just pretending
          G          F
One World, One Love,
                   Fadd9           Am
There's nothing to good intentions
          G          F
One world, One love,
                        Fadd9           Am
means nothing if you're just pretending
     G          F 
To do your part,
                   Fadd9
There's nothing to good intentions
Am                G                            Am
Dark as the black, in the cracks in the ground
                 G                          Am
Dark as the black, in the cracks in the dark
            G                             Am
as the black, in the cracks in the ground.
