I wrote this especially for Tricity Vogue's ukulele cabaret on the 11th of Feb in London. The theme is "Love Gone Wrong" hence this song. Full details here. I'll be there to perform it if I am sent over by a new bit of work I'm doing, so fingers crossed!
Waltz time: ONE 2 3, ONE 2 3
Gm Dm Gm A7 Dm
2210 2110 2010 4210
I was in love with a T.Rex,
0201 A7
But now she's been taken from me,
2210 2110 2010 4210
We met one night in a club in Soho,
Gm A7 G7 on 5-4-3-4
for players of ukulele.
2210 2110 2010 4210
She said her name was Matilda
0201 A7 Gm A7
She roared, so sweetly in my ear,
2210 2110 2010 4210
and her tiny arms cradled her uke, so gently
Gm A7 Dm G7 on 5-4-3-4
I knew I had nothing to fear.
G7, C Em
Well, we danced every night in the,
F G
Cretaceous moonlight,
C Em F G
While a bright star grew in the sky,
C Em
How was I to know,
F G
that celestial glow,
Dm G
Would cause my true love to die
2210 2110 2010 4210
I'll never again wish upon falling stars,
0201 A7
for this one, took her from me,
2210 2110 2010 4210
while I hid the ground, making hardly a sound,
Gm A7 Dm
A wee mammal, so cowardly.
{Quietly}
2210 2110 2010 4210
So at night, all alone, serenading her bones,
0201 A7
So white in the light of the moon,
2210 2110 2010 4210
On her ukulele, so quietly
Gm A7 Gm Dm
I sing to her memory alone
2210 2110 2010 4210
0201 A7
2210 2110 2010 4210
Gm A7 Gm Dm
G7 C Em
We danced every night in the,
F G
Cretaceous moonlight,
C Em F G
While a bright star grew in the sky,
C Em
How was I to know,
F G
that celestial glow,
Dm G F C
Would cause my true love to die
