Hello ukulele players! I originally submitted this as a guitar tab 
I now edited it a little and hope it works for ukulele, too. 
But I'm not sure whether the chords I suggest make sense for the ukulele. 
If you have any suggestions to make as to how to improve this tab, 
don't hesitate to send a message. Enjoy!

INTRO
| C | % | 

C                  G6     G
   A penny in your pocket,
Am                    Em    C7
   A suitcase in your hand,
F                     C 
   They won't get you very far,
             Dm                   Fadd9    G6 G
Now you're a twenty-first century man

C                  G6     G
    Fly across the city,
Am                Em    C7
    Far above the land,
F                   C
    You can do most anything,
         Dm                   Bb  Bbmaj7  Bb7
You're a twenty-first century man

G            G7          C         F          Dm  Am
  Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow,
G           G7         C              F                     Fm
  You still wander the fields of your sorrow - what will it bring?

C                   G6     G 
   One day you're a hero,
Am                       Em    C7 
   The next day you're a clown,
F                          C 
   There's nothing that is in between,
             Dm                   Fadd9     G6 G
Now you're a twenty-first century man

C                   G6     G
   You should be so happy,
Am                  Em    C7
   You should be so glad,
F                    C
   So why are you so lonely,
         Dm                   Bb  Bbmaj7  Bb7
You're a twenty-first century man

G             G7               C            F          
 You stepped out of a dream believing everything was gone,
G             G7                          C                   F       Fm     
 Return with what you've learned they'll kiss the ground you walk upon.

SOLO
| C | G6 G | Am | Em C7 | F | C | 

Dm                   Fadd9     G6 G
Twenty-first century man


C                        G6                 G
   Things aren't how you thought they were,
Am                  Em     C7
   Nothing have you planned,
F                                 C
   So pick up your penny and your suitcase,
             Dm                   Bb  Bb/maj7  Bb7
You're not a twenty-first century man.

G            G7          C         F          Dm  Am
  Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow,
G           G7         C              F          Fm
  You still wander the fields of your sorrow - tomorrow
