Barenaked Ladies
Off the Hook

This is a favorite of mine and I couldn't find a tab of it anywhere,
so I figured it out.  I made this tab from the Demo version of the
song.  Listen to the song of the timing.
I recommend playing the C chord as a barre chord in A formation
everywhere aside from where it specifies open.
