Tabbet by Daniel Olsen
This tab is as close as I could get it.
I have included some comments in the bottom
with regards to the parts of the song that I
couldn't quite get right. Any help would be
much appreciated.

Verse:
FI'm a man of Greason, and they Csay "'TisAm the season tDmo be jolly"
But it's Gfolly when you Cvolley for Eposition
FNever in exGistence has there Cbeen such a resAmistance
To iDmdeas meant to Gfree us
If you could Csee us, then you'd Elisten
FToiling through the Gages, making Ctoys on garnished Amwages
There's no Dmunion
We're only Gthrough when we out Cdo the compeEtition
Chorus:
FI Gmake Ctoys, but I've got Easpirations
FMake Gsome Cnoise
Use your iEmagination
FGirls Gand Cboys, before you Ewish for what you Dmwish for
There's a Glist for who's been
DmNaughty or Cnice, but conFsider the Gprice to an Celf
Verse:
A Ffull indentured Gservitude can reCflect on one's Amattitude
But that Dmsilly red hat Gjust makes the Cfat man look outErageous
AbFsurd though it may Gseem, you know, I've Cheard there's even been ilAmlegal doping
DmAnd though we're Gcoping, I just Chope it's not conEtagious
You Ftry to start a Gmovement, and you Cthink you see imAmprovement
But when Dmthrown into the Gmoment, we just Cdon't seem so couErageous
Chorus:
FI Gmake Ctoys, but I've got Easpirations
FMake Gsome Cnoise
Use your iEmagination
FGirls Gand Cboys, before you Ewish for what you Dmwish for
There's a Glist for who's been
DmNaughty or Cnice, but conFsider the Gprice to an Celf
Bridge:
CYou look at yourGself
You're an elf
And the Amshelf is just filled with Fdisappointing Ammemories
CTrends come and Ggo, and your friends wanna Amknow
why you aren't just Chappy making Amcrappy little Cgizmos
Every Fkid knows they'll just Gthrow this stuff Caway
Verse:
We're Fused to repeGtition, so we Cdrew up a peAmtition
We, the Dmundersigned, feel Gundermined
Let's Credefine E"employment"
We Fknow that we've got Gleverage, so we'll Chand the fat man a Ambeverage
And sit Dmback while we atGtack the utter Clack of our enEjoyment
It Fmay be tough to Gswallow, but our Cthreats are far from Amhollow
He may Dmthunder, but if he Gblunders, he may Cwonder where the Etoys went
Chorus:
FI Gmake Ctoys, but I've got Easpirations
FMake Gsome Cnoise
Use your iEmagination
FGirls Gand Cboys, before you Ewish for what you Dmwish for
There's a Glist for who's been
DmNaughty or Cnice, but conFsider the Gprice
DmNaughty or Cnice, but conFsider the Gprice
DmNaughty or Cnice, but conFsider the Gprice to an elf C
END!
------------------------------------------------------------
I'm having some problems with two places in this
song (both in the bridge section):
And the Amshelf is just filled with Fdisappointing Ammemories
Last chord doesn't sound quite right, but as
close as I could get it. And the next part:
CTrends come and Ggo, and your friends wanna Amknow
why you aren't just Chappy making Amcrappy little Cgizmos
The "happy making crappy little gizmos part" part
sounds like its missing something. Please
comment if you have any ideas on how to play this
properly and I'll update the tab.
