Verse 2

They all have hills to fly them on,
Ex - cept for Lin Tai Yu,
Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games,
Hiding out in treetops, shouting out rude names

NOTE:
Some album versions of the song have the Bridge lyric
"Whistling tunes, we piss on the goons in the jungle"
Instead of the more radio-friendly lyric...
"Whistling tunes, we're kissing baboons in the jungle"

For the GUITAR chord box diagrams to match my
suggested choices you need to manually select the

All the other chord boxes should be the default
first option and don't need any reselecting.
