Born To Hum Ukulele Chords

This is my first attempt at tabbing a song by ear. The song's chords are pretty 
simple. The picking makes it a little more interesting, but I didn't try to tab that.

TITLE: born to hum
ARTIST: erin mckeown (http://www.erinmckeown.com/)

CF (4x)

G                        C
once in the spring of my 24th year

G                C
i had nothing to say.

G
with a dangling promise and

C
a terrible past

G                     C
i threw all the words away.


Bm      C       G     C
we were born to hum.


G                       C
you were the last in my 24th year

G                      C
to make a demand of my voice.

G
i tickled your ear and

C
i laughed in your face and

G
i gave you my choice.


Bm      C       G    C
we were born to hum.

Bm      C       G    C
we were born to hum.

(lots of picking here, along with the artist saying "hum". it follows the chord 
pattern from the rest of the song...C, then F)


G
it's a gradual running,

C
a kind of release

G                    C
that's settled on my face.

G                C
once in awhile i complain to myself,

G
nothing gets done!

C
nothing's in place!


Bm          C      G    
but i would rather hum.

Bm      C      G
i would rather hum.

(picking, "hum", C F chord pattern at the end)
