Well I crack up whenever I see the video or hear the song and by listening to it for so long
and at times playing my guitar trying to figure it out (especially for my girlfriend)
I came up with all this. No matter where I've looked I haven't found a tab. It's my first real
tab, but it seems every tab you look at is someone's first tab. Anways here it is!

Around the time of  "I hope you like this norelco big trimmer...with my name on it and Im your
boyfriend" part, a keyboard comes in, the chords it plays and the chords a guitar would play
throughout the song are:

B, E, F#, and E
They sound best played high up on the neck

       B      E    F#
E|-----7------7----9-------------------------------------------|
