So i noticed the other tab that's basically correct had the chord names under the 
lyrics, instead of on top of them which was really confusing.  I fixed them to be 
in standard tab format, and corrected a couple lyrics.

Intro 
C G Am F

C (x32010@1)               G (320003@1)

  Am (x02210@1)            F (133211@1)    
He asks how I can smoke such shit

C (x32010@1)                     G (320003@1)

    Am (x02210@1)               F (133211@1)

Not really sure whats played here, I just play C G Am F twice over, which fits nicely.
