This lovely song was written and recorded by Gordon Lighfoot - I love his version but the Peter, Paul and Mary recording has haunting harmonies. I've already written the words/chords out for guitar before, but here's a ukulele version. It's a little lower than the recording, so it's a bit difficult to sing along (you'd need to add a capo on the 3rd fret, which is tricky if you have a small ukulele).
It's in G, so has a Bminor (Bm) chord, but that's not hard on the ukulele- you just need to put your finger across the 'top' 3 strings on the 2nd fret and use your 3rd finger on the 4th string, 4th fret. It may seem a little awkward at first but it's worth persisting. Chord diagrams are on the song sheet (also a link to a YouTube clip of PP&M singing the song).
