WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | The Shore Ukulele – The Wood Brothers | Version #1
Notes: There's some really interesting phrasing in this song vocally & musically.
The "DD" in the last verse and the finish are two quick strums on D that are held for
the remainder of the measure.
I definitely recommend practising with the record to get the vocal phrasing just right.
Also notice that at the last chorus and coda hold the A chord longer, rather than
stepping up to the B.

Leave behind what I know

The river and let go of the shore.
