Hey Ya covered by Mat Weddle of Obadiah Parker
Transcribed by: Jonnybin123@hotmail.com
Standard Tuning: EADGBe
I tried to tab this song just by watching the video on YouTube
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXlSrfkNxPw) and the low quality made
it hard to see or hear what the G-like chord really is but I gave it my
best shot. E-Mail any corrections. PS, this is my first tab.
CAPO ON 4TH
Chords Used: (I personally think that the first G sounds better but in the
video it looks like he's playing the second G so you can decide).

^When he goes from the C to the Am, hammer on the 2nd fret G string)
[Verse One:]
C Am
My baby don't mess around
Because she loves me so
G Am
And this I know for sure...
C Am
Uh, But does she really wanna
But can't stand to see me
G Am
Walk out the door...
C Am
Can't stand to fight the feelin'
G Am
Because the thought alone is killing me right now...
C Am
Thank god for mom and dad
For sticking two together
G Am
'Cause we don't know how...

[Chorus:]
C Am
Hey... Ya...
G C
Hey Ya...
[Verse Two:]
C
You think you've got it
Am
Ohh, you think you've got it
But got it just don't get it
G Am
Till' there's nothing at all..
C
We get together
Am
Oh, we get together
G Am
But seperate's always better when there's feelings involved
C Am
If what they say is "Nothing is forever"
G Am
Then what makes, Then what makes, Then what makes
Then what makes, then what makes, Love the exception
C Am
So why you, why you
Why you, why you, why you are we so in denial
G Am
When we know we're not happy heeeerrreeee...
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
C Am
Alright now fellas
G C
Now what's cooler than bein' cool?
Am
I can't hear ya' now
G C
I say what's cooler than bein' cool?
Now alright (repeats multiple times, just play verse chords)
C Am G Am
Now ladies, yeah we're gonna bring it down in just a few seconds here
C Am
Don't make me bring it down for nothin'
C
I wanna see you on y'all's baddest behavior
Am G
Lend me some sugar
Am C
I am your neighbor
Shake it, shake it like a Polaroid Picture (Multiple times+scratches and the first chord of every change)
[Chorus]
