my first tab i did this for a tenor in gCEA tuning 
also sounds good on my low g and c uke maybe better even


Dm Dm C C Bb Bb F F
I'll fake it through the day
Dm Dm* Gm Gm
With some help from Johnny Walker Red
F F Am Am C C Bm Bm
Send the poison rain down the drain
F F A A (Fill here**)
To put bad thoughts in my head

Dm Dm C C Bb Bb F F
Two tickets torn in half
Dm Dm* Gm Gm
And a lot of nothin' to do
F F C C Bb Bb F F G G
Do you miss me Miss Misery
Bb Bb F F
Like you say you do

Ab Ab Cm Cm
A A man in the park
F F Ab Ab
Read the lines on my hand
Cm Cm
Told me I'm strong
C C
Hardly ever wrong I said

Man you mean

Dm Dm C C Bb Bb F F
You had plans for both of us
Dm Dm* Gm Gm
That involved a trip out of town
F F Am Am C C Bb Bb
To a place I've seen in a magazine
F F A A (Fill here**)
That you'd left lyin' around

Dm Dm C C Bb Bb
I don't have you with me
F F Dm Dm* Gm Gm
But I keep a good attitude
F F C C Bb Bb F F G G
Do you miss me, Miss Misery
Bb Bb F F
Like you say you do

Dm Dm Bb Bb
I know you'd rather see me gone
F F G7 G7 Bm Bm
Than to see me the way that I am
C C A7 A7
But I am in your life any way

Dm Dm C C Bb Bb F F
Next door the TVs flashing
Dm Dm* Gm Gm
Blue frames on the wall
F F Am Am C C Bb Bb
It's a comedy of errors you see
F F A A (Fill here**)
It's about taking a fall

Dm Dm C C Bb Bb F F Dm Dm*
To vanish into oblivion
Gm Gm
It's easy to do
F F C C Bb Bb
And I tried to be but you know me
F F G G Bb Bb F F C C
I come back when you want me to.
F F C C Bb Bb F F G G
Do you miss me, Miss Misery
Bb Bb F F
Like you say you do

use the Cm Cm here or it wont sound quite right the Ab Ab and Gm Gm dont matter

*these Dm Dm are Gm7add9 Gm7add9 I think but I dont know that chord on
the uke I substituted Dm Dm for my lack of knowledge.
it stillsounds close enuf for me

** the fill I use here is a switch from A A to A7 A7 and then
finishing on Dm Dm which starts the next verse in all 3 cases.

Once again I just dont know what the actual fill is so I
improvise something easy that works well enuf

if any one comes up with these let me know - Topher

I don't know what the chord would be called, but for the Dm*, I think it sounds better if you also play the bottom A sting on the first fret... Great job in everything else! Really great.
