One Good Year Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Slaid Cleaves
Capo 1

In the verses, I like to do a [D] to [D/F#] to [G] walkup but it isn't necessary – 
I just think it sounds a lot better.


Intro Chords: [D]  [G]  [D]  [G]ss


               [D]   [D/F#]  [G]                   [D] 
It's New Years day,      just like the day before
                [D]    [D/F#]  [G]                         [A]
Same old sky of gray       same empty bottles on the floor
                  [Bm] [G]                     [D]    [A]
Another year gone by and I'm thinkin once again
          [D]                [A]                 [G] 
How can I take this losin' hand, and somehow win


Chorus 1:
                      [D]     [G]
Just give me one good year
                    [D]
To get my feet back on the ground
          [D]      [D/C#]       [Bm]                    [A]      [G]
I've been chasin grace, but grace ain't so easily found
[G]                [D]
One bad hand can devil a man
[G]                       [D]
Chase him and carry him down
  [G]                [A]                           [D]      [G]
I gotta get out of here, just give me one good year 


I'm burnin oil, engines runnin rough
I drive from job to job but it's never enough
I cant find the will to just up and get away
Some kind of chain's holdin' me down and makes me stay


Chorus


Bridge
             [G]     [A]
Its a bitter wind
                  [Bm] 
In your face everyday
               [F#m]
Its the little sins
                     [D] 
That wear your soul away
                     [G]    [A]
When you start givin in
                          [Bm]
Where do the promises all go
          [F#m]                                      [A]
Will your darkest hour write a blank check on your soul


Solo


Chorus 2:
                      [D]     [G] 
Just give me one good year
                    [D]
To get my feet back on the ground
          [D]       [D/C#]      [Bm]                    [A]     [G]
I've been chasin' grace but grace ain't so easily found
[G]                [D]
One bad hand can devil a man
  [G]                      [D]
A good one can turn him around
  [G]                [A]
I gotta get out of here
                      [Bm]    [A]
Just give me one good year
  [G]                [A]                           [D]     [G]    [D]    [G]
I gotta get out of here, just give me one good year
