Chords for Basic Ukulele Lessons - 09c - The Crawdad Song

_ _ _ [A] You get a line and I'll get a pole.
_ _ _ You get a line and I'll get a [E] pole, baby.
_ _ You get a line and I'll get a pole.
[D] You go down to the crawdad hole.

_ [B] This is a well-known song.
It's really easy to play.
And for this little example, I'll just go over the verse that I just sang.
Sometimes you'll hear this verse played and repeated between other verses.
Other times people will just sing different verses with no chorus in between.
You can play it either way you prefer, but just remember that whether you're playing it as a verse or as a chorus,
in this song, they're both played the same way.
Now let's play it slowly in the key of A. _ _ _ _
