It Gets Better - Fun.

lower case denotes playing just the note - almost all of which are in the lowest 
octave playable in standard tuning, except the e's and f's in Riff 1 and just before the chorus. 

most of the runs in the bass can be left out with no problem. They just make the 
song more interesting. Everything harmonically necessary is still present without them. 

C (either bar or heavily muted)
What've we done? oh my god
What've we done? oh my god
