repeat this three times for the intro and then just the plucked chord variations (the D,
G, Bm, A variations) without the pulloffs/hammerons for the versus which go:
D G Bm A
I'm no better at this double dating than I am at roller skating,
D G Bm A
I stole my best friends money to play on the arcade machines,
D G Bm A D
We got on like a ton of bricks, weighed down by your million things you made me laugh.
-chorus:
G D A
Looked like a giraffe, in the morning,
D~ G D~ G
with your long legs, and your long neck
D A D G
with your long legs, and your long neck,
A
in the morning
D
in the morning
-
then back to the intro tune (with some extra riffs that are:)

fade out
a lot of the chord changes are mid-word with how long he holds 'long' and such, if you
know the song you can figure it out easily.
h= hammer on p= pull off s= slide,
again, implied chord variations for verses (and chorus) are:
D G Bm A
e-|--2---------------------|
B-|--3----2-----7-----5----|
G-|-------0-----7-----6----|
D-|--0---------------------|
A-|-------------------4----|
E-|-------3-----7----------|
this is my first tab i think, at least my first in close to ten years, so i hope it is
clear, helpful and accurate.
you can play it with just the basic intro and chords if you'd like of course, i just
thought that i would be thorough and include (most) all the little riffs and such.
this is a beautiful song from a beautiful album by an incredible artist.
