| Bm | Bm/A | Bm/Ab | G | |
| I'm not one of | those who can | easily hi | de |
| D | A | F# | Bm | |
| I don't much | money, but, | boy if I | did |
| D | Em7 | G | A | |

| D | Gmaj7 | A | F#m | |

An easy way to play this *may not match tone of recording but nice sounding nonetheless*...transpose -2 (Capo2)...easy chords. Don't get freaked by the Am/G, Am/F. Play a normal Am, move your ring finger to top string ("C" handshape), so you play 302010 and 202010 respectively. Trust me.I agree that this is definitely NOT aimed at the newbie, but it's not overly difficult this way, either, when considering the original instrument. That said, I think the A that follows the Gmaj7 in the verses is off. I'm not really sure where to take it, but it seems of. I tried Bm7 and it seemed a little better, but then, I'm fingering the song, so I may just be missing the note in the A somehow.
As far as for difficulty levels, this one is not bad at all, and most if not all of the chords are EASY first position chords on the ukulele.
