Hey guys! This song has been requested loads on youtube so here you have it :)
It's 100% accurate, because I tabbed it by watching the video of Elly Jackson
playing it herself. This is a pretty sweet tune to play acoustically.
Enjoy ;D

You, walking around rent free, oh

All you do is push me back in the dirt
