This second song is incredibly easy, since it's literally just G - D - C - G
for the entire song and then D - G at the end of each few verses.
That being said, I personally always find it obnoxious whenever
a guitar tab is literally just the lyrics with a few chords at the top though,
so for the sake of not having put one of THOSE tabs on the site, I'll map
it all out here.

GHOST MICE: EUROPE
"English Channel"
GWe turned around, we were headin' south
DWe were tryin' to get off the island
CWishin' for a sky without any clouds
GWith a big nice bright sun shinin'
GWe found a spot in a soggy swamp
DAnd set up our tiny tent
COur feet were wet again
GBut we were gettin' used to it
Our feet were Dalways Gwet
GA man drove by in a silver car
DWith a mean look on his face
CHe looked at us in the rear-view
GAnd then he hit the breaks
GWe walked up to the open window
DNot knowin' what to think
CBut he wanted to know where we were goin'
GAnd see if it was on his way
GWe told him we were goin' to Dover
DAnd hopefully over to France that night
CHe said, "So am I, hop in
GAnd I'll give you a ride"
And we were Don our Gway
GHe said he stopped to pick us up
DBecause we looked so out of luck
CHe was havin' a bad day too
GBut he thought we had him beat
GIt was his philosophy that if you see
DSomeone in a worse way than you
CIt's your ethical obligation
GTo stop and see what you can do
I wish everyDone thought that Gtoo
GHe asked if we had our tickets
DAnd when our boat would leave
CWe confessed we didn't know that yet
GAnd we'd get there then we'd see
GHe said, "You should just ride with me
DBecause passengers ride free
CIt takes a couple of hours
GAnd I could use the company"
So could Dwe, so could Gwe
GBut he was goin' to Belgium
DAnd we were goin' to France
CBut we decided to change our plans
G'Cause you don't pass up a chance like that
GWe got there late and he was pissed
DThat he missed the hovercraft
CIf he'd have to take the slow boat
GThen he would ride first class
Our bad Dluck was gone at Glast
GWe got to the lonely lobby
DAnd we filled our packs with snacks
CThey were free, those pastries
GAnd those drinks would weight our backs
GHe could see our hesitation
DWe were concerned about bein' rude
CHe said, "Take as much as you can hold, kids
GI was once like you
I have Dbeen there Gtoo"
GWe got aboard the ferry
DAnd they took us to our seats
CWhich were basically in a nice restaurant
GAnd it looked like we were gonna get to eat
GThey brought us priceless menus
DAnd they brought us more drinks
CWe were the only dirty kids there
GWith our big backpacks and stinky feet
GSo we ate our three-course meal
DAnd talked to our new-found friend
CWe told him about the music we played
GHe was an electrician
GHe asked where we planned to sleep that night
DWe said we had no clue
CHe said, "I'll drop you off by the side of the road
GThat's what I used to do
I was Donce like Gyou"
