Tabbed by: Spencer Riner

[Bass Intro]
Notes: You can hammer on from 3 to 5 on the D string quickly for effect if
you want to.

[Guitar Intro]
Notes: I'm putting two different lines here. The first one (1) is just how he
plays it on the record, the chords get their context from the bass. Below
that (2) is a way you can play it without a bass player with root position
chords. The hardest thing about this part is getting the rhythm of it.
(1) Dm7 G7
e|---8-8---8-8---7-7-7--7----------------------------------------------------|
B|---6-6---6-6---6-6-6--6----------------------------------------------------|
G|---7-7---7-7---7-7-7--7----------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

(2) Dm7 G7
e|---8-8---8-8---7-7-7--7----------------------------------------------------|
B|---6-6---6-6---6-6-6--6----------------------------------------------------|
G|---5-5---5-5---7-7-7--7----------------------------------------------------|
D|---7-7---7-7---5-5-5--5----------------------------------------------------|
A|---5-5---5-5---------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
As a comment pointed out, Mark plays these chords an octave higher than I
notated here. I've watched it live a few times and I'm pretty sure he's
playing it as shown in (3). Thanks to dudebud for the correction.
(3) Dm7 G7
e|---13-13---13-13---13-13-13--13--------------------------------------------|
B|---13-13---13-13---12-12-12--12--------------------------------------------|
G|---14-14---14-14---14-14-14--14--------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
[Pre-Chorus]
Notes: I guess that's what to call it. The "I'm too hot" part. Super minimal
part. Do it a few times.

D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3h5--------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
[Chorus]
(Horn part)
Notes: After the "Don't believe me just watch". This is the horn part, but
could work on guitar too. There's a break before the 6 hits at the very end,
you can get it by listening along while you play. The intro chords are also
playing during the chorus, but on a synth I think.
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-10-----------10-----------10-----------10----10-9--------10-10-10-10-10-10|
D|----12-10-12-----12-10-12-----12-10-12-------------12-10-------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Those are pretty much all the parts to this song. Lmk if something is missing.
