Strumming
Tuning: E A D G B E
The key to getting this song to sound just like the original is to play a
standard G chord with fingers 3, 2 & 4 and then use fingers 1 & 2 (index, middle)
to tap on and off fret 1 on the B and fret 2 on the G string to finger a D7sus4,
then hammer fret 2 on the D string (verses only, not the chorus).
Listen to the song to get the feel for the strum and the tap on/off timing.
G 32000(3)
D7sus4 xx021(3)

[Verse 1]
[Verse 2]
I've been Glong, a long way from hGere
GPut on a poncho, played for mosquitoes,
And Gdrank 'til I was thirsty agC*ain
We went Gsearching through thrift store jGungles
Found GeGronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
And GBenny Goodman's corset and pC*en
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well, oCkay, I made this Dup… I Cpromised you I'd never give uDp
[Chorus]
N.C.
If it makes you hAmappy C it can't be that Gba-aa-aa-adD If it makes you hAmappy C then why the hell are you sGo sad?You get dGown, real lGow down
You Glisten to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well, Gwho hasn't been there befoCre?
I come Ground, around the hGard way
Bring you Gcomics in bed; scrape the mold off the bread,
And Gserve you French toast agaiCn
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Well, oCkay, I still get Dstoned… I'm Cnot the kind of girl you'd take Dhome
[Chorus]
N.C.
If it makes you hAmappy C it can't be that Gba-aa-aa-adD If it makes you hAmappy C then why the hell are you sGo sad?If it makes you hAmappy C it can't be that Gba-aa-aa-adD
If it makes you hAmappy C then why the hell are you sEmo sad?

C* - this particular C chord is played similarly to the preceding G chord with
your pinky on the string 1; G note (fret 3). When changing from the preceding G
chord merely drop fingers 2 and 3 one string down.
