Pollyanna usually tune down to Eb, this song is no different.
The whole thing is pretty simple, it's basically one really catchy riff and a
lot of jangly chords.
I've put in some lyrics so as to indicate rhythm, however I can pick out maybe
3 words in the whole tune (two of those are 'lemon' and 'suck'), the rest are
just what I think he's sayin. Apparently he ain't sayin much. =)
