The reason the other tab first tab says it sounds like it’s off by a half-step is
because it is.
"I Don’t Like Mondays" is in the key of B, not C. So, here's the bona-fide
transcription of "Mondays"
Also, you might need to widen margins to view the whole lines.

Sweet sixteen ain't that peachy keen,
B E
No, it ain't so neat to admit defeat,
