This one is on the Discosis album. Thanks to Peter Leenborg Jensen for his work on the song. My version is based on his original tab, but solves the problems that were in it. I'm pretty sure for this on, but your comments are welcome. Don't forget the capo on the 1st fret. All the riffs are relative to the capo. Standard tuning.

Riff 02 And the laziness won't disappear Riff 02 My indifference sets in out of fear Verse 04 -------- Riff 01 Mean ass spider, called her hairy And she likes her webs big and scary Riff 01 She'll never let go Not as long as she's still spinning Riff 02 But the irony just gets lost Riff 02 'Cause no one cares who pays the cost Chorus ------- Riff 03 And I said, mama, gonna buy you out Riff 03 I'm a rockstar now Riff 03 I said, mama, gonna buy you out Riff 03 G I'm a rockstar now End the song with an open "G" chord [320033] Let ring. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- That's it !
