I noticed another tab on here but I didn't think it was quite right so I thought I would take a crack at it.
I think it's these four main chords:
F/C G/D E/B D/A (open)
|---1----| |---1----| |--------| |--------|
|--------| |--------| |--------| |--------|
|--------| |--------| |--------| |--------|
|---3----| |---5----| |---2----| |---0----|
|---3----| |---5----| |---2----| |---0----|
|---3----| |---5----| |---2----| |---0----|
When dropping to the D/A (open) chord I recommend playing down a half step quickly after the F/C chord.
Like this:
F/C F/C(half) D/A(open)
|---1----| |--------| |--------|
|--------| |--------| |--------|
|--------| |--------| |--------|
|---3----| |---0----| |---0----|
|---3----| |---0----| |---0----|
|---3----| |---2----| |---0----|
Then, when switching between the D/A and E/B chord part I also recommend playing the half step quickly.
I'm 90% positive I remember seeing him play it like this live.
So this part would look like:
D/A(open) D/A(half) E/B
|--------| |--------| |--------|
|--------| |--------| |--------|
|--------| |--------| |--------|
|---0----| |---0----| |---2----|
|---0----| |---0----| |---2----|
|---0----| |---1----| |---2----|
Repeat this forward and then back.
Just remember the D/A(half) and F/C(half) chords are played VERY quickly.
I usually only play the 6th string (Low D) when playing them.
I tried and match the each chord with the lyrical timing but if you listen to the song you'll probably get it.
I hope this makes sense:
F/C G/D
Success for my buddy, success for my friend
E/B F/C F/C(half)
Success is the only thing I understand
D/A D/A(half)E/B D/A(half)
Head back home to the place I grew up
D/A D/A(half) E/B
Give my pedals to the ones that I love
F/C G/D
I'll chase Harvey through the door in the wall; he says
E/B F/C F/C(half)
never catch me, never miss me at all
D/A D/A(half)E/B
Drool comes down from the corner of his mouth
D/A(half)E/B D/A(half)E/B
I say I love you Harvey you cut it out.
F/C G/D
I love winning baby, I want it all
E/B F/C F/C(half)
I wanna prove that I got the ball.
D/A D/A(half)E/B D/A(half)
Harvey keeps on playing with his food;
D/A D/A(half)E/B
he doesn't understand what big boys do.
F/C G/D
He wakes up in the middle of the night
E/B F/C F/C(half)
I run in and turn on the light.
D/A D/A(half)E/B D/A(half)
Run my hands through his short black hair,
D/A D/A(half)E/B
I love you Harvey I don't care.
Then just repeat the F/C , G/C , and E/B chords and do whatever vocally (oohs and what not).
This was my first tab, I hope it helps anyone.
Alex G is great!
