How Will I Ever Be Simple Again Ukulele tab

	  This is my variation.  I left out the solo.  I fingerpick, but not at Mr. Thompson's level. :). 
The top part is the usual lyrics +  
chords.  See tab for variation on chord formation. 

A                                 D        A 
She danced in the street with the guns all around her 
A                        E 
All torn like a rag doll barefoot in the rain 
A                           D         A 
She sang like a child to-ra-day-to-ra-da-dee 
A                     E      A  
Oh how will I ever be simple again 

A                           D          A  
She sat on the banks of the dirty gray river 
A                           E 
And tried for a fish with a worm on a pin 
A                               D              A 
There was nothing but fever and ghosts in that water  
A                  E         A       A A/B A/C 
Oh how will I ever be simple again 

D               A 
War was my love my friend and companion 
D                       A          E            
What did I care for the pretty and plain 
A                             D            A 
Her smile was so clear and my heart was so troubled 
A                  E          A 
Oh how will I ever be simple again  

Solo 

A                              D          A 
In her poor burned out house I sat by her table 
A                              E  
The smell of her hair was like cornfields in May 
A                       D               A   
I wanted to weep and my eyes ached from trying 
A                     E      A       A/A/  A/B  A/C  
Oh how will I ever be simple again 


D                             A 
How graceful she moved in the dust and the ruins 
D                        A           E 
How happy she was in her dances and games 
A                         D        A 
Teach me to see with your innocent eyes love 
A                     E      A  
Oh how will I ever be simple again 
A                     E      A   
Oh how will I ever be simple again
