Tabbed by Marcus Hautz (endofallthings at gmx. de)

Standard Tuning. This is one hell of a fun song to play.
You'll find a few pointers on strumming and intonating the
different parts on the bottom of the tab. But just listen 
to the song and you'll get it.

Enjoy !

A few hints on strumming :

1) For the verse
Chords: G (320003@1)      D (xx0232@1)         Em (022000@1)        C (x32010@1)             
Strum:  D (xx0232@1)-  D (xx0232@1)U  -  U  D (xx0232@1)U  -  U  D (xx0232@1)U  -  U  D (xx0232@1)U
Text:   Sitting  at the      railway     station

2) Play the Em dirctly after the Verse twice
Chords: Em (022000@1)  Em (022000@1)              Am (x02210@1)     C (x32010@1)Strum:  D (xx0232@1)-  D (xx0232@1)-  -  U  D (xx0232@1)U  D (xx0232@1)-  D (xx0232@1)U  -  U  D (xx0232@1)U  
Text:                           really smart 

3) In the "Bridge" part play a different strumming
Chords: G (320003@1)                     C (x32010@1)                     DStrum: (xx0232@1) D (xx0232@1)-  D (xx0232@1)U  -  U  D (xx0232@1)U  D (xx0232@1)-  D (xx0232@1)U  -  U  D (xx0232@1)U  DText: (xx0232@1)  wad   it up    and      throw it in    my       face
