Tune E string to E flat (tune for E with finger on fret one)
Tune A string to A flat (to make note transition easier)

KEY:
One space = half a beat (8th note)
_________= Hold the note
E.g.:   A-14---  = play A-1 followed by A-4 as 2 8th notes.
        It's not fourteen, it's one and then four.
        A-1_       = Hold this note for one beat (1/4 note)
        A-1__      = Hold this note for 1 &1/2 beats (dotted 1/4)
        A-1_____   = Hold this note for 3 beats (dotted 1/2)
        A-1_______ = Hold this note for 4 beats (whole note)
        A-1_______________=Hold this note for 8 beats
                            (2 linked whole notes)

Ok then, here are the keys to play:

A-----4--4----4---
E-----------------

C KEY:

D-----------------      (C is on fret 4 because the string is
A-4_4_14_14_4_14__       tuned to A flat so everything is moved
E-----------------       up one)
  1+2+3+4+1+2+3+4+

F KEY: (this one is a little irregular)
G-----------------
D-----------------
A-----------------       (F is on fret 2 because string is tuned

A# KEY:
G-----------------

Alrighty then, here are the lyrics. When you come to the bit that
goes "Do you have an opinion" I'll write some more tab there
because it's different.
