This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

By: KrazyKurtKuomos

The other one is pretty wrong and so here is what I think is the exact way to

play it. Its just basically picking at 4 chords: Mainly D and Am, but also C and G

Standard Tuning

Verses:

Lyrics:

Verse 1:

I flagged him down at the corner and he

Picked me up at the light

I told him where I was going and we

Drove off into the night

Verse 2:

How's it going my friend I asked him

And slowly he turned his head

The taxi driver looked at me and

This is what he said

Chorus

he said...

(w/ Indian Accent)

Thank you very much...(i cant understand too much cause everyone is laughing and applauding)

Do you want me to leave on the left side or the right side

No i cant break a 20 that is far too much money for me to break

Ok ok come again goodbye goodbye alright...

(thats as much as i could gather)
