I decided to tab out the acoustic version of this song, which is found on a sampler
CD that Arts & Crafts puts out, or once put out, called Adventures in Advertising.
The main chords are the exact same in the version found on You Forgot It In People,
so you can translate them to electric guitar quite easily. If you're just playing
this yourself though, it should help. Feel free to e-mail me with questions or
corrections.
Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)
