"The Handshake"

This is a definitely correct, just play and listen for yourself.  
I put the chords over the lyrics exactly how they should be.  
It is important to note that this song relies heavily on bass, 
and therefore you need to look at this tab while you listen and 
play along in order to play it correctly.
