This is how Jemaine plays it live. It's basically the same riff over and over with a finish: G|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------| D|-----------|-----------|-----------|------2----| A|-----------|-----------|-----------|-3---------| E|-5-5h7p5-5-|-7-7h8p7-0-|-1-1h2p1-1-|----5----4-| G|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------| D|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------| A|-----------|-----------|-----------|-3---------| E|-5-5h7p5-5-|-7-7h8p7-0-|-1-1h2p1-1-|------4----| G|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------| D|-----------|-----------|-----------|-2---2-----| A|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------| E|-5-5h7p5-5-|-7-7h8p7-0-|-1-1h2p1-1-|--4-4--4-4-| And repeat. During some parts of the song like when Jemaine (the "Hiphopopotamus") is singing, the line simplifies to this: G|---------|---------|---------|---------| D|---------|---------|---------|---------| A|---------|---------|---------|---------| E|-5-----5-|-7-----0-|-1-----1-|-0-----0-| You pretty much just omit the pull-off thing from the main riff, and the different endings. Sometimes this part simplifies even more so you only play the first note in each section: G|---------|---------|---------|---------| D|---------|---------|---------|---------| A|---------|---------|---------|---------| E|-5-------|-7-------|-1-------|-0-------|
