This is an easy arrangement made for strumming, which I show in part 8-10 
of the tutorial. The main part of the video is a fingerpicking adaptation 
for ukulele made to sound as close to the original as possible!



[Intro]: F  Dm C    Dm Bb    x2

 F                              Dm         C  
Someway baby it's part of me, apart from me
        Dm         Bb
You're laying waste to Halloween
     F                                        Dm         C
You fucked it friend, it's on its head, it struck the street
       Dm            Bb
You're in Milwaukee, off your feet

       Bb                               Dm  C
And at once I knew I was not magnificent
   Bb                          Dm C
Strayed above the highway aisle
 Bb   Dm          F         C
Jagged vacance, thick with ice
                     Dm     Bb     C   F
But I could see for miles, miles, miles

F                                Dm  C
3rd and Lake it burnt away, the hallway
      Dm               Bb
Was where we learned to celebrate
F                                 Dm       C
Automatic bought the years you'd talk for me
      Dm                Bb
That night you played me Lip Parade
 F                                   Dm      C
Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree
        Dm               Bb
Saying nothing, that's enough for me

       Bb                               Dm  C
And at once I knew I was not magnificent
 Bb                              Dm C
Hulled far from the highway aisle
 Bb   Dm          F         C
Jagged vacance, thick with ice
                     Dm     Bb     C   F
And I could see for miles, miles, miles

  (F)                                 Dm
Christmas night, it clutched the light
                  C
The hallow bright, above my brother, I and tangled spines
     F                                   Dm      C
We smoked the screen to make it what it was to be
         Dm        Bb
Now to know it in my memory

       Bb                               Dm  C
And at once I knew I was not magnificent
 Bb                         Dm  C
High above the highway aisle
 Bb   Dm          F         C
Jagged vacance, thick with ice
                     Dm     Bb     C   F
And I could see for miles, miles, miles
