Singing Joy to the World Lyrics

Singing Joy to the World Fruit Bats

I tabbed this out for use on my ukulele so the fills are pretty hard to
transpose but hopefully this can give your wonderful mind a template to work from.
This is one of my favourite FBs songs so please feel free to send me comments on revision.
He plays small hammer ons and pull offs throughout the song listen and play along to nail them.
The rhythms also tricky in spots.
Notables:
Barring with the index finger for Bm then hammering on the rest of your fingers.
(C#m Cm Bm) This is played fairly fast.
I have no idea about this so good luck.
Slidey (tough because he plays this while strumming the chord)
Riff (It helps to barre A with your index finger)

I.
We---ll he got
Lonely every time a canteen of lights came up
On the Indian Casino Queen Cus hed loved her from the time shed been the
waitress at the Mexican place where hed left his keys
Shed been there smilen at the lost and found
Then he took her to see three dog night they were playin at the fairgrounds
Holdin hands singin Joy to the World
She was way too young
But he did not care
He was alright with cashin in
B D D(fade)
A few fine moments before his broken heart kicked in
(Riff)
A-Asus-A (fade)

II.
Well he
died a little bit each time the night came in
And the stars fell over Michigan Cus hed loved her at the ball when he saw her
dancing to I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man
Then hed come over to his usual spot
Soon they were makin out at three AM in the empty parking lot
- su
They lay together under the burnt out stars
She never loved him back
It wasnt even close
But he was fine with just pretend
that it was never gonna end
and it was worth it just to know
B D D(quick fade)
A little warmth before the snow
(Riff) A(fade)
Hope you enjoyed it!
Just use these chords for a ukulele if you would like to play it on there.
It works very well since the high vocals don't conflict with the uke as much as normal songs would.
