Couldn't resist another one from the great Loudon Wainwright III for ukulele - Primrose Hill.

This is one of my favourite songs of his from the album 'So Damn Happy'. It tells the (true) story of the homeless busker Loudon reportedly saw on his walks through Primrose Hill when he used to live in London. It's a really simple song that works well on ukulele. These chords are a match for the original key, but very easy to transpose!There are a couple of instrumental interludes between some of the verses, but they use exactly the same chord progression.(D) Living on the side of Primrose HillDrinking (G) cans of Tennents just can't seem to get my fillGot a (A) beat up guitar and a dirty old sleeping bagAnd this (G) mangy dog whose tail don't wag(D) Sun's been shining down on my hillside bed(G) That's not the only reason my face is so redThis (A) nasty cut on my nose is not from no fightI just fell (G) down yesterday or maybe it was last night(D) And I used to sing and play down in the underground(G) But a few years back they started cracking downNow I'm (A) living on the side of Primrose HillI'm no (G) tourist attraction but I give them a thrill(D) Yeah I see you riding by on your flash new bicycleYeah they (G) can do you for that on Primrose Hill(A) A pretty young mother goes by she's pushing her pram(G) Her little baby leans out just to see what I am(D) From the top of the hill there's a hell of a view(G) Houses of Parliament and London ZooThose (A) politicians all chatter they trumpet and roarThat must (G) be what those hyenas all are laughing for(D) When you come up to London it sure is something to see(G) It's somewhere to go but it's no place to beAnd there's (A) two things keeping me from going 'round the bend(G) I got my music and this dog for a friend(D) 'Cause life gets slippery when you're living on the sideYeah I (G) know I should quit drinking but I haven't even tried(A) My mutt's licking my fingers and I'm wetting my lipsI got a (G) can of extra strong and a bag of chicken and chips(D) If I had a little money I'd get a few things(G) Like a bottle of vodka and a pack of new guitar stringsI guess (A) I could die here on the side of this hill(G) I'm no tourist attraction but I'd give them a chill(D) And I'm living on the side Of Primrose HillDrinking (G) cans of Tennents Just can't seem to get my fillGot a (A) beat up guitar And dirty old sleeping bag(G) This mangy dog.....
