Hold The Fort Ukulele chords by Berta Bigtoe

Intro:

D Dsus4

Verse:
D               Dsus4
there's talk of exodus
         Bm       E7
friends take to eastern peaks,
        Em
midwestern plains
                      D
each speaks of coming back

D                       Dsus4
the patch is all that's left for us
      Bm              E7
i hope it's something fresh
       Em
bucolic lessons,
                   D
to keep us all in track

Chorus:
D                 Dsus4
i understand my place
D                     Dsus4
i'll hold the fort for you
D                 Dsus4
and chart the growth
D                   Dsus4
of all our garden's fruit
                     D
while I am growing too

Verse:
D               Dsus4
there's talk of exodus
         Bm       E7
an ally's eye on prospect city
  Em
such a pity
                  Dsus4
prospects all for jack
D                     Dsus4
he'll settle for the element
         Bm           E7
and likes how folks are snappy
      Em
where it's happening
                    D
won't cut our city slack

Chorus:
D                 Dsus4
i understand my place
D                     Dsus4
i'll hold the fort for you
D                 Dsus4
and chart the growth
D                   Dsus4
of all our garden's fruit
                     D
while I am growing too

Verse:
D             Dsus4
i felt the exodus
        Bm       E7
a lover for vocation
          Em
stationed near me
                   D
and somehow out of reach
D             Dsus4
is this the end of us?
        Bm       E7
the question has me bumbling
          Em
racing headlong
                    D
and stumbling on the streets

Chorus:
D                 Dsus4
i understand my place
D                     Dsus4
i'll hold the fort for you
D                 Dsus4
and chart the growth
D                   Dsus4
of all our garden's fruit
                     D
while I am growing too!
