Just thought i may as well throw in the lyrics 
for anyone new to the song:


And it's all over
Sin in the ratty air
I got suspended 
Suspended in the air
I tried to kiss you
But you were never there
I went a-looking
Found you everywhere 
Violent and lazy, barbershop sport
Grass doesn't grow on a busy sidewalk
And it's all over
Sin in the ratty yard
No, there's no pressure
Force fed buisness cards
I tried to kill him
Tried to kill you rock-n-roll star
Founding a bad trip
Some corperate facade
Violent and lazy, barbershop sport
Grass doesn't grow on a busy sidewalk
So now it's over
Envy the ratty star
Cause thats a winner
Love those business car
You're still pretending
Still sending those Christmas cards
And talking back there
Waiting at the bar
Violent and lazy, barbershop sport
Grass doesn't grow on a busy sidewalk
Violent and lazy, barbershop sport
Grass doesn't grow on a busy sidewalk
Violent and lazy, barbershop sport


You'll have to work out the strumming pattern yourself. 
Just listen to it, heaps easy. But thats basically the
whole song. And i promise you this is the right way to 
play it. There is also a second guitar that you can hear 
in some parts of the song that plays a few of the chords
with some distortion on, but i wouldnt worry about that 
at all. If you have any questions at all just email me

This is an awesome song from Grinpoon. Great band, great music.

Just like to thank my girl jacky for being so helpful.
