Hi All, great tune covered and mixed with one of his own.  Lyrics and chords from
concert Weekend at the Greek.  Capo 2nd Fret.  Enjoy.

Opening is just D with alternating plucking on the D and A string.  Throughout the
song always pluck the base string, listen to it and you will hear what I am saying.
Look at the bottom for explanation of what he does on the A with *, and A**.

DI (xx0232@1)don't care if it rains or freezes 
Gas (320003@1)long as I've got my plastic Jesus 
D (xx0232@1) 	 	        A*
sitting on the dashboard of my car 
Dit (xx0232@1)comes in colors pink and pleasant 
Git (320003@1)glows in the dark cause its iridescent 
D (xx0232@1)                  A (x02220@1)            DI'll (xx0232@1)take it with me whenever I go far 
Dso (xx0232@1)give me my lady Madonna 
Gdressed (320003@1)in rhinestones and sitting on a 
D (xx0232@1)                   A*
pedestal of abalone shells 
Ddriving (xx0232@1)90 but I'm not scared 
Gbecause (320003@1)I've got my Virgin Mary 
D (xx0232@1)                     A (x02220@1)          Dassuring (xx0232@1)me that I will never go to hell

D (Plucking D string)

DAnd (xx0232@1)by the way You know that 
Dhope (xx0232@1)will make you strange 
DMake (xx0232@1)you blink, make you blank, make you sink 
D (xx0232@1)                GIt (320003@1)will make you afraid of change
G (320003@1)And often blame 
GThe (320003@1)box with the view of the world 
G (320003@1)                          DAnd (xx0232@1)the walls that fill the frame 
DI (xx0232@1)turn it up 
Dbut (xx0232@1)then I turn it off 
DBecause (xx0232@1)I can't stand when they start to talk 
             GAbout (320003@1)the hurting and killing 
GWhose (320003@1)shoes are we filling 
GThe (320003@1)damage and ruin 
GMan, (320003@1)the things that we're doing 
    DGood (xx0232@1)god, We gotta stop, we gotta turn it all off 
DWe (xx0232@1)gotta rewind 
Dand (xx0232@1)start it up again 
A**

A (x02220@1)                           GAin't (320003@1)there nothing sacred anymore

G, D, G, D, G, D

DSomebody (xx0232@1)saw him jump 
But nobody saw him slip 
I guess he lost a lot of hope 
And then he lost his grip 
           GNow (320003@1)he's lying in the freeway 
In the middle of this mess 
Guess we lost another one 
Just like the other one 
DOptimistic (xx0232@1)hypocrite 
That didn't have the nerve to quit 
The things that kept him wanting more 
Until he finally reached the core 
A**

A* At this point Jack plucks the D string and strums A.  Then covers the E string on
the second fret with his thumb, pluck and then strum A again.  

A** Same as A* except cover E with thumb on 3rd fret, strum A, back to thumb on 2nd
strum A and go to G.   

Hope this helps!  If you listen to the song performed on "Weekend at the Greek" you
will hear what I am talking about.
