Here's "A" from BNL's second album Maybe You Should Drive.
I hope it's close enough for you.

A - Barenaked Ladies
intro (hammer on) A D(slid up to 5th) D (slid to 4th)
A(hammer (x02220@1)on) E (022100@1)A (x02220@1)E (022100@1)A (x02220@1)E (022100@1)G (320003@1)D (xx0232@1)
A (x02220@1)        E (022100@1)                  A (x02220@1)                   EA (022100@1)is for angry which is what you are at me
A (x02220@1)        E (022100@1)                  G (320003@1)                DA (xx0232@1)is for adult which is what I'll never be
A (x02220@1)         E (022100@1)                  A (x02220@1)             EA (022100@1)is for applesauce, my favourite meal
A (x02220@1)          E (022100@1)                 G (320003@1)                     DA (xx0232@1)is for Adam which is how I sometimes feel
                      G (320003@1)               D (xx0232@1)    like I'm the only man on Earth
                   E (022100@1)    and I've forgotten what that's worth

A is for Arthur he's a lovable drunk
AM&Azing like Thelonius Monk
A is for argument, A is for apparent
A is for antagonism that's not even there
     it's just you begging for affection
     or something I won't even mention

CHORUS
           D (xx0232@1)          D(up to 4th fret)A
And I don't even know why you keep on trying
           D (xx0232@1)         D(up to 4th)  ALike (x02220@1)I don't even know why I keep on lying
                D (xx0232@1)           Fm (133111@1)        E (022100@1)                 AThere (x02220@1)are millions of people in worlds of their own
D (xx0232@1)                      A (x02220@1)        EAnd (022100@1)two of them can't let go.

A is for algebra, I learned it in school
A is what Fonzie said 'cause he was very cool
A is for adversary, A is for alection
A is arousal you are giving me an erection
     c'mon I'm trying to show affection
     for longer than a half an hour.

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Gm  Dm  Cm
Gm (355333@1)        DmMet (xx0231@1)a woman I used to know
CmLong (x3101x@1)before you, long ago.
Fm (133111@1)                C#mAll (x13321@4)I could say, after hello
Bm (x24432@1)EWas (022100@1)"are you still single?"

A is for attitude I can't help but wield
A is for arrogance, emotional shield
A is for acting, A is for abhorrently
A is for asshole which is what I am how rude of me
     I owe you an apology
     I'm sorry.
