I believe he may have been playing on a baritone uke or perhaps a drop G uke, but this was learned on a
standard uke.

[Intro]
(vocalizing)
Big girls don'
t cry
[Verse 1]
I’ve been feel
ing lightheade
d since I lost
enough weight
to fit back i
n my skin
Flower petals
and feathers t
ether me to th
e ground (poun
d for pound)
Take my tea wi
th formaldehyd
e for my femin
ine side since
the day that
I died
While I whittl
e my bones unt
il I’m brittle
, am I pretty
now?
For some reaso
n I find mysel
f lost in what
you think of
me
And too confus
ed to choose w
ho I should be
N.C
And now you’ve got me thinking
[Chorus]
I wish I could
be a girl, an
d that way
You'd wish I c
ould be your g
irlfriend, boy
friend
Am I pretty en
ough to lie to
? O-wa-ohh
I wish I could
be a girl, an
d that way
You'd wish I c
ould be your g
irlfriend, boy
friend
Just little ol
d me in a big
big world, O-w
a-ohh
Ah-a-a-a-a-a-a

[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
I’ve been feel
ing lightheart
ed since I gai
ned enough wei
ght back to c-
c-c-c-cover my
bones
I get dressed
up in shadows
one leg at a t
ime – we’re so
alike
But if the sho
e fits, then I
won’t try it
on
You’ll be walk
ing out early,
but the show
must go on
No, I know tha
t I’m wrong
But I love how
you’re on my
side
It’s been a po
int of content
ion between my
self and this
body that they
stuck me in
The privilege
of being born
to be a man
N.C
And now you got me thinking
[Chorus]
I wish I could
be a girl, an
d that way
You'd wish I c
ould be your g
irlfriend, boy
friend
Am I pretty en
ough to lie to
? O-wa-ohh
I wish I could
be a girl, an
d that way
You'd wish I c
ould be your g
irlfriend, boy
friend
Just little ol
d me in a big
big world, O-w
a-ohh
Ah-a-a-a-a-a-a

Little old me
in a big world
I-I-I-I-I
