WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Swingin Utters - A Promise To Distinction Ukulele | Ver. 1
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.

"Son, by God, what I could have done,

Haggling over sums

He's my God

But I'm a bit backwards

As I looked to the sky
