--------------------------------------------------------------------- That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore - The Smiths --------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Daniel email:joppadaydream@gmail.com The song is the work and creation of The Smiths from the album Meat is Murder. Tuning: Standard NOTE: I've tabbed this in standard tuning with out a capo for clarity. If you want to play this in the key as performed by Johnny Marr and The Smiths place a capo on the 2nd fret and play accordingly. Chords are tabbed out below.
