tabbed by Moonsoon3@aol.com
i'm putting in measure breaks but not strumming patterns. the single,
picked notes, and the chords with the stars are played as transitions/
walk-downs from one chord to the next. listen to it and figure it out.

F
"You're a wet cigarette", "You're always second best",

And when you're done, the battle's been won.

You sit back, you smile and this is what you hum, you hum:
