(CAPO ON 3RD FRET)
 
        This is the way I play this song on my accoustic. The following
tab is based on the chords given by Liz Myers.
 
        For each chord written below, play the following sequence:
 
     C               Am              G               F
e|---------0-----|---------0-----|---------3-----|---------1-----|
B|---1-----1--1--|---1-----1--1--|---3-----3--3--|---1-----1--1--|
G|---0--------0--|---2--------2--|---4--------4--|---2--------2--|
D|------2--------|------2--------|------5--------|------3--------|
A|---3-----------|---0-----------|---------------|---------------|
E|---------------|---------------|---3-----------|---1-----------|
 
     G#              Em              Bm
e|---------4-----|---------0-----|---------2-----|
B|---4-----4--4--|---0-----0--0--|---3-----3--3--|
G|---5--------5--|---0--------0--|---4--------4--|
D|------6--------|------2--------|------4--------|
A|---------------|---------------|---------------|
E|---4-----------|---0-----------|---2-----------|
 
    Dm              Cmaj7(Add F)
e|---------1-----|---------0-----|
B|---3-----3--3--|---0-----0--0--|
G|---2--------2--|---0--------0--|
D|------0--------|------3--------|
A|---0-----------|---3-----------|
E|---------------|---------------|
 
So if the chords are, say, Am G G C you should play:
 
     Am            G              G               C
e|---------0-------------3--------------3---------------0-----|
B|---1-----1--0----3-----3--3-----3-----3--0------1-----1--1--|
G|---2--------0----4--------4-----4--------0------0--------0--|
D|------2-------------5--------------5---------------2--------|
A|---0--------------------------------------------3-----------|
E|-----------------3--------------3---------------------------|

[Intro]
 
 
Em Bm Em Bm F G F G
 
Am   G                 C   C
Once    there was this kid who
F           C            G                C
Got into an accident and couldn't come to school
    F    F          G    C
But when he finally came back
G   C    F               C      G     G       G
His hair had turned from black into bright white
   G#               C
He said that it was from when
    G#               Cmaj7(Add F) Cmaj7(Add F) F F
The cars had smashed soooo                     hard
 
[CHORUS]
 
Em     Bm   Em     Bm      F    G    F    G
Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm, Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm
 
Am   G                C    C
Once   there was this girl who
F              C               G            C
Wouldn't go to change with the girls in the change room
    F    C              G    C
But when   they finally made her
G    C    F         C        G    G    G
They saw    birthmarks all over her body
    G#               C
She couldn't quite explain it
    G#             Cmaj7(Add F) Cmaj7(Add F) F F
They'd always just been                      there
 
 
[CHORUS]
 
Em     Bm   Em     Bm      F    G    F    G
Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm, Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm
 
Am   G                C    C
Once   there was this girl who
F              C               G#           C
Wouldn't go to change with the girls in the change room
    F    C              G    C
But when   they finally made her
G    C    F         C        G    G    G
They saw    birthmarks all over her body
    G#               C
She couldn't quite explain it
    G#             Cmaj7(Add F) Cmaj7(Add F) F F
They'd always just been                      there
 
 
[BRIDGE]
 
Dm        Dm  C    G      G
Both girl and boy were glad
Dm        Dm   C      G   F          G
One kid had it worse than that
       Am   G             C   C
'Cause then   there was a boy whose
F                C                 G            C
Parents made him come right home directly after school
    F    C            G     C
And when they went to their church
G    C     F        C        G            G       G
They shook   and lurched all over the church floor
   G#               C
He couldn't quite explain it
       G#          Cmaj7(Add F) Cmaj7(Add F) F     F
They'd always just gone                      there
 
 
PLAY CHORUS TWICE
 
Outro is the same progression as the bridge. As my guitar doesn't have a
built-in fade-out :-), I end this song like this:
 
                                       C
                                    e|---|
                          (slower)  B|-1-|
Dm Dm C G Em Bm Em Bm     F       G G]|-0-|        Let ring the last chord
                                    D|---
                                    A|-3-|
                                    E|---|

German - first comments says this tab is dissonant with the original song. But says doesn't want to seem presumptious, as he probably can't do better. Second comment says have you checked you capo on third? Then he gets a bit twatty and tells the dude he doesn't know anything. You're welcome.
