[Intro]
Am G C
Am G C
[Verse 1]
Am G C
I was scared of dentists and the dark,
Am G C
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations,
Am G C
Oh all my friends are turning green,
Am G C
You're the magicians assistant in their dreams.
Am G C
Ooh, ooh ooh
Am G C (hold)
Ooh, and they come unstuck
[Chorus]
Am G C
Lady, running down to the riptide,
C Am
taken away to the dark side,
G C
I wanna be your left hand man.
Am G C
I love you when you're singing that song and,
C Am
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
G C
you're gonna sing the words wrong
[Verse 2]
Am G C
There's this movie that I think you'll like,
Am G C
this guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City,
Am G C
this cowboy's running from himself.
Am G C
And she's been living on the highest shelf
Am G C
Ooh, ooh ooh
Am G C (hold)
Ooh, and they come unstuck
[Chorus]
Am G C
Lady, running down to the riptide,
C Am
taken away to the dark side,
G C
I wanna be your left hand man.
Am G C
I love you when you're singing that song and,
C Am
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
G C
you're gonna sing the words wrong
Fingerpicking
[Bridge]
Am G
I just wanna, I just wanna know,
C F
If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay,
Am G
I just gotta, I just gotta know,
C F (strum and hold)
I can't have it, I can't have it any other way
Strum once and hold:
Am G C
I swear she's destined for the screen,
Am G C
Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen, oh
[Chorus]
Am G C
Lady, running down to the riptide,
C Am
taken away to the dark side,
G C
I wanna be your left hand man.

I love you when you're singing that song and,
C Am
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
G C
you're gonna sing the words wrong

I think to play it live he tunes his ukulele down 5 half steps and plays Dm, C, F. Right chords though the tuning down gives a nicer voicing I think
It's going to sound weird, but, on ukulele, Vance Joy tunes it to the same notes as the bottom 4 strings of a guitar.
D, G, B, E
On the album version, he plays it a semi-tone higher: D#, G#, C F
Also, the little mini-solo he pulls off before the bridge goes like this:
E|----------3--------|
B|-------------1-----|
G|-------------------|
D|--0h2--2--------2--|
As for the chords, They are Am, G, C, but they are play the same way as a guitar, but without the top 2 strings. So:
Am: G: C: F:
E|---0---| E|---3---| E|---0---| E|---0---|
B|---1---| B|---0---| B|---1---| B|---1---|
G|---2---| G|---0---| G|---0---| G|---2---|
D|---2---| D|---0---| D|---2---| D|---3---|
Strumming Pattern:
VERSE
DD UDU
Chorus:
D DU UDU
If you have trouble tuning as mentioned above... try this
B, D, G, E and switch the fingers around.
Am: G: C: F:
E|---0---| E|---3---| E|---0---| E|---0---|
G|---2---| B|---0---| G|---0---| G|---2---|
D|---2---| G|---0---| D|---2---| D|---3---|
B|---1---| D|---0---| B|---1---| B|---1---|
