EFFINGTON
BEN FOLDS
Album: WAY TO NORMAL
Tabbed by Nicolás Levy Renaud
STANDARD TUNING - CAPO 5 (Scroll down for no capo version)
NO CHORD:
If there's a god,
he's laughing at us
And our football team.
INTRO: C
VERSE 1:
C
Effington could be a wonderful f'ing place
I can see it from the highway
And I'm wondering
C
Are they f'ing in their yards
f'ing in their cars
f'ing in the trailers and the backroads and the parking lots of Effington
Making my way to Normal, Illinois.
C
VERSE 2:
C
Maybe I should ditch this little white rental on the interstate
And start a new f'ing life...in effington
C
I could change my name, grow a beard, start a family
Or I could just keep on moving on, moving on, moving on, moving on
Not stop 'til I get to Normal.

VERSE 3:

And then the people who live in Normal
Can buy the movies that I'll make in Effinghton
That's what normal people do

People do it
People do it
