This is just a touch up on some of the other tabs I've seen.
It is pretty much exactly the same as them.
So don't complain about it, this version sounds just a little more correct.
Figure out the strumming for the intro by listening to the song, its not too hard.
Tuning: (standard) EADGBe

Lyrics
Visiting is pretty
Visiting is good
Seems that all they ever wanted was a brother
This can be a secret
We can keep it good
Even all the ever wanting had a problem
This is a call to all my
Past resignations
This is a call to all
Fingernails are pretty
Fingernails are good
Seems that all they ever wanted was a marking
Them balloons are pretty
Big and say they should
Ever fall to ground
Call the magic marker
This is a call to all my
Past resignations
This is a call to all
This is a call to all my
Past resignations
It's been too long
Minocin is pretty
Minocin is good
Even all the cysts and mollusks tend to barter
Ritalin is easy
Ritalin is good
Even all the ones
Who watered down the daughter
This is a call to all my
Past resignations
This is a call to all
This is a call to all my
Past resignations
It's been too long
Fingernails are pretty
Fingernails are good
Seems that all they ever wanted was a marking
Them balloons are pretty
Big and say they should
Ever fall to ground
Call the magic marker
This is a call to all my
Past resignations
This is a call to all
This is a call to all my
Past resignations
It's been too long
