San Dimas High School Football Rules Acoustic Tab by Ataris


Song: San Dimas High School Football Rules (Acoustic)
Band: The Ataris
Album: Let it Burn (Ataris/Useless ID Split)
Label: Kung Fu Records
Tabbed By: Donahue2

There's a guitar, a piano and a violin in this song, but I'm tabbing the piano
and violin out for guitar.  It's not rocket science.  There's alot of tabs for
this song and only one good one: This one.  Yeah, I'm cocky.  Wanna fight about it?
This song sucks and I'm only tabbing it to prove that I'm better than it.

Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)

"Last night, I had a dream
 That we went to Disney land
 And went on all the rides - didn't have to wait in line.
 I took you to your house where we stared up at the stars,
 I listened to your heartbeat as I held you in my arms."

"We hung out at the rainbow where we drank 'til half past two,
 Nothing could go wrong anytime that I'm with you.
 Like trashing a hotel room or leading up to that first kiss,
 Or searching for a high school that you know doesn't exist.
 These are the things that make me free,
 I feel like I'm stuck in 'Stand By Me',
 This night was too good to be true."

"Denise, don't you understand that what I say is true?
 I just want you to know I have a major crush on you.
 I'd take you to Las Vegas and do things you'd wanna do,
 I'd even have Wayne Newton dedicate a song to you.
 I only wish that this could be
 Just dump your boyfriend and go out with me,
 I swear I'd treat you like a queen."

This is proceeded by some idiot pounding on a piano for a few seconds.
I wont be tabbing that up.  I'd just like to say that this song is
quite possibly the worst bloody song I have ever heard.  It was a
mistake on my part to tab up the piano and the violin.  This has only
wasted my precious time.  But, I did it, this tab is perfect.

For those of you without the time: Here are the chords and the lyrics.

C                      Em
Last night I had a dream

                       F

                           Am
anytime that I'm with you
