INTRO

Play MAIN-RIFF 4 times.

[VERSE 1] [play MAIN-RIFF]

Running nose and runny yolk

Even if you have a cold still

You can cough on me again

I still haven't had my fulfill

CHORUS

G5 Bb5 G5 Bb5

In the someday

G5 Bb5

What's that sound

G5 Bb5

In the someday

G5 Bb5

What's that song

G5 Bb5

In the someday

G5 Bb5

What's that sound

G5 Bb5

In the someday

G5 Bb5 B5 <-Just strum the B5 once then go

What's that song straight back to the MAIN-RIFF.

[VERSE 2] [play MAIN-RIFF]

Broken heart and broken bones

Finger plaster-cast of the horse pills

One more quirky cliched phrase

You're the one I wanna refill

REPEAT CHORUS

GUITAR-SOLO

This may not be a 100 % accurate but who cares!

[Here's what he's saying

behind the solo:]

Most people don't realize that large pieces of coral

Which have been painted brown and attached to the skull with common wood screws

Can make a child look like a deer

REPEAT CHORUS

REPEAT VERSE 1

REPEAT CHORUS

End by playing MAIN-RIFF once.
