It might seem like I tabbed it in a complicated way, but if you stick to it then you
get the hang of it. It is actually a really easy song to play. Have fun!
Intro/chorus:
G|----------------------|
D|----------------------|
A|-55555555-------------|
E|---------55555555-----|x1
verse part 1 ''yeah''
G|--------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------|
A|-2-2-2-202-2-20202-2-2-202-2-2-0|
E|--------------------------------|
Note: in this part and in the verse part 3 there are 2's and 0's, not
20's.
verse part 2
G|-------------------|
D|-------------------|
A|-------------------|
E|-3-3-3-33-0-0-00-0-|
then :
G|-------------------|
D|-------------------|
A|-2-2-2-202-2-20202-|
E|-------------------|
Now it will continue like this until the chorus:
verse 1
verse 2
verse 1
verse 2
chorus ''this boy is so..''
G|----------------------|
D|----------------------|
A|-55555555-------------|
E|---------55555555-----| x1

After every chorus verse part 3 ''I wanna car, I wanna car, yeah''
G|---------------------|
D|---------------------|
A|-2-2-2-202-2-2-5-0---|
E|---------------------|
verse 3
verse 1
verse 2
verse 1
verse 2
chorus x1
verse 3 x2
bridge:
''I wanna, I wanna, I wanna...''
G|------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-3333333355555555777777779999999910101010101010101212121212121212-| x1
In this part, each note is played 8 times fast, just as the 5's
in the chorus. Saves counting them :)
Also, here the scale goes up to ten's and twelve's, not one zero or one two.
After the bridge, continue with this:
verse 3 x2
verse 1
verse 2
verse 1
verse 2
chorus x2
verse 3 x3
Finally, end with this.

And that's it. Simple yet fun.
