PRINCE "I Could Take the Place of Your Man" Cover by The Wellington Ukulele Orchestra

Hi All,

Not sure how many of you are familiar with the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra, but they do this fantastic cover of Prince's "I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man".

It would be so amazing if someone could figure out the tab, I am hopeless.

Yes its also great, the tab for that has been done. I was hoping someone like Seeso might have a crack at this one. I have been enjoying many of his tabs.

cheers

Here's the intro 4 bar riff:



You play that four times. When it kicks into the verse, play:

| C - - - | G - - - | and then the last two bars of the intro. Let's call it, "2 BAR RIFF."

| C - - - | G - - - | 2 BAR RIFF
It was only last June when her old man ran away
| C - - - | G - - - | 2 BAR RIFF
She couldn't stop crying cause she knew he was gone 2 stay
| C - - - | G - - - | 2 BAR RIFF
It was 10:35 on a lonely friday night
| C - - - | G - - - | 2 BAR RIFF
She was standin by the bar, mm, she was lookin alright

| C - - - | G - - - | 2 BAR RIFF
I asked if she wanted 2 dance, and she said
All she wanted was a good man, and wanted 2 know
| C - - - | G - - - | 2 BAR RIFF
If I thought I was qualified, and I said

| C - - - | G - - - | 2 BAR RIFF
Baby don't waste your time
| C - - - | G - - - | 2 BAR RIFF
I know what's on your mind
| F - - - | Ab - - - | Em - - - | D7 - - - |
I may be qualified 4 a one night stand
| Dm7 - - - | G - - - |
But I could never take the place of your man

Play 4 BAR RIFF two times

| C - - - | G - - - | 2 BAR RIFF
It hurt me so bad when she told me, with tears in her eyes
| C - - - | G - - - | 2 BAR RIFF
He was all she ever had and now she wanted 2 die
| C - - - | G - - - | 2 BAR RIFF
He left her with a baby and another one on the way
| C - - - | G - - - | 2 BAR RIFF
She couldn't stop cryin, cause she knew he was gone 2 stay

| C - - - | G - - - | 2 BAR RIFF
She asked me if we could be friends
And I said, oh, honey baby that's a dead end, U know and I
| C - - - | G - - - | 2 BAR RIFF
Know that we wouldn't be satisfied

| C - - - | G - - - | 2 BAR RIFF
Baby don't waste your time
| C - - - | G - - - | 2 BAR RIFF
I know what's on your mind
| F - - - | Ab - - - | Em - - - | D7 - - - |
I may be qualified 4 a one night stand
| Dm7 - - - | G - - - |
But I could never take the place of your man

Play 4 BAR RIFF four times

| C - - - | G - - - | 2 BAR RIFF
Baby don't waste your time
| C - - - | G - - - | 2 BAR RIFF
I know what's on your mind
| F - - - | Ab - - - | Em - - - | D7 - - - |
I may be qualified 4 a one night stand
| Dm7 - - - | G - - - |
But I could never take the place of your man

Play 4 BAR RIFF four times and end on C.
