Tuning:standard

Ok, here we go with another of my opinionated tabs.
Once again, I don't care how the original was done,
I have created my own way.

This is played freely, with spunk.  Kinda get that
funkiness down, you know, get you're upper body
moving with the beat, kinda jerk like a chicken.
Get that bottom lip stuck out and belt this one
out!
This is the whole song....if you get this progression
down, you're set.  I've found the best way to perform
this one is with attitude.  Throw as many "fucks" and
"shit" into the lyrics, (without overkilling, of course)
Chicks love this song!@

Now, I want y'all to remember, just because I tabbed it this way
does not mean you have to play it this way.  I learned the song
on piano when I was young and this is how I transferred it to
the guitar.
Also, remember that I love fluid songs.  I love to beat the shit
out of my Ovation, or whatever other acoustic I get my hands on.
Noone is exactly like the other person, so styles will differ.
Use your style to your advantage, don't criticize it.  The more
you criticize yourself, the more you hold yourself down.
Peace!!!!
