Well, since lads here won't accept my ukulele tab since this is a guitar site. i'm gonna invent chords and
give you the picking pattern. You'll need to learn 6 new chords.

IMPORTANT I wrote the tab with the following tips/requirements:
1. Lisa tunes her uke three halfsteps lower, so if you wanna sing along tune it to E A C# F#.

2. The picking pattern is simple but really fast (especially if she performs it solo) so this song 
requires a lot of hand strength.

3. The picking pattern is the same through the whole song. and goes like this: 
1 3 2 4 (with 1 being the string the most far from floor, 2 being next to the 1st etc) or
E string - C# string - A string - F# string or

F#|-X----------X-------------|
C#|-------X-----------X------|
A |---X-----------X----------|
E |---------X------------X---|

4. Also i would recommend playing this on at least concert uke 'cause when you tune your soprano down 
three steps it tends to buzz.

the chords that you'll need to learn are:

1
F#|--0--|
C#|--2--|
A |--3--|
E |--0--|

2
F#|--0--|
C#|--3--|
A |--0--|

INTRO
C 1 x4
       
       C           1
It was early in the morning,
        C              1
We were sitting on the stoop,
      C                1
There wheeled away a starling
      C                    1
And I thought that I would too.

2    3            C
Oooooh for all I knew,
      2   3            C
I was lost through and through,

      2       4         2      4        
In my high heels and my old dress
        2     4         2  2    5   1 7
With my new keys in the wrong city.


  2 3          C                       2      3
Aaah I tie the knots to remember in my heart,
     C                        2     3
So I choke and I sputter to a stop,
       C                          2    3   C  6
I am a borrower and lender of the lot.

  C          1
I walk away asleep
             C                  1
And chalk an outline round the scene
     C              1
This shadow play of whiskey talk,
  1            2 
A heavy denier dream.

2   3        C    
Ooooh let it be,
      2              C
I was lost in him and me.

      2       4         2      4        
In my high heels and my old dress
        2     4         2  2    5   1 7
With my new keys in the wrong city.


  2 3          C                       2      3
Aaah I tie the knots to remember in my heart,
     C                        2     3
So I choke and I sputter to a stop,
       C                          2    3   C 
I am a borrower and lender of the lot.

Instrumental break

(before the end of the instrumental break the ukulele starts to play again. I couldn't get this one right
but you can play either 6 or 7.)

  2 3          C                       2      3
Aaah I tie the knots to remember in my heart,
     C                        2     3
So I choke and I sputter to a stop,
       C                          2    3   C 
I am a borrower and lender of the lot.
           C                       2      3
I tie the knots to remember in my heart,
     C                        2     3  C (only the top string and then strum once)
