Jack Johnson – Mudfootball (Chords)
Now, the fingerplay between the 2. And the 3. Verse is something that I had to rewrite from a guitar-chord. There’s several ways to get the rhythm using the ukulele fretboard (of course) but this is the one I found the most to my liking. I tried turning it around also so that the C-string would be playing the lower notes and the A-string the ones longer up the fretboard but it didn’t quite sound as good although the outcome was the same. I wanted to move it longer down the fretboard as well to get a deeper sound but the problem is that that way you can’t do the stair G\D, E\H which is needed.

Set the sails I feel the winds a’stirring

Toward the bright horizon set the way

Cast your wreckless dreams upon our Mayflower

Haven from the world and her decay

Fighting for a system built to fail

Spooning water from their broken vessels

Oh my god, the water’sall around us

Oh my god, it’s all around
