Album: WAY TO NORMAL

Tabbed by Nicolas Levy Renaud

STANDARD TUNING - CAPO 5 (Scroll down for no capo version)

NO CHORD:
If there's a god,
he's laughing at us
And our football team.

INTRO: C

VERSE 1:
CEffington (x32010@1)could be a wonderful f'ing place
I can see it from the highway
And I'm wondering
         CAre (x32010@1)they f'ing in their yards
f'ing in their cars
f'ing in the trailers and the backroads and the parking lots of Effington
Making my way to Normal, Illinois.

C (x32010@1)VERSE 2:
CMaybe (x32010@1)I should ditch this little white rental on the interstate
And start a new f'ing life...in effington
CI (x32010@1)could change my name, grow a beard, start a family
Or I could just keep on moving on, moving on, moving on, moving on
Not stop 'til I get to Normal.
