Sect. 2 (VERSE)
(Oh my wrists are weak...)
Here are two versions of it.
The first is the way I play, and below that is a version that requires less of a stretch.
Either way works (because the notes aren’t changed, just the placement on the neck).
Version 1:
e|------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------|
A|-----12-----------11------------9------------7--|
E|--9------------7------------5------------4------| (slide back up to 9 on E when repeating)
Version 2:
E|-----------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------|
D|-----7------------6------------4------------2--|
A|-----------------------------------------------|
E|--9------------7------------5------------4-----|
At “Hurry hurry hurry” play Sect. 1 again 3 times
Sect. 3.1
(Don't judge a book by the size of its wrists...)
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----7-----9-----11-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4--|
E|--5-----7-----9------2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----|
Sect. 3.2
(Separated for simplification of the outro. "Sect. 3" means both 3.1 AND 3.2 are played
without pause)
e|---------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------|
A|-----7-----11-----9-----9-----9-----9-----9-----9--|
E|--5-----9------7-----7-----7-----7-----7-----7-----|

*This whole last part is different, if you hadn't noticed.
It becomes a bit jumpier at this point, with the sections becoming slightly shorter.
Not terribly complicated, but for the sake of accuracy here it is.

Corrections? Comments?
Send them to me - concrit would also be appreciated (first tab, after all)
Did my best to make it make sense. If I failed somewhere, please let me know.
I would be more than happy to fix things to make this tab clearer.
I realize that the ending as I have tabbed may be confusing, so let me know what can be
for improvement.
