hey look, here's another one,
Here is another tab/chord chart for a song from the

I'm Straight
This song has pretty much the same structure throughout, like this:
E E C G (F#) E
e|--0---------------|-0-------------|-0-------------|------------0----|
B|--0---------------|-0-------------|-1-------------|------------0----|
G|--1---------------|-1-------------|-0-------------|------------1----|
D|--2---------------|-2-------------|-2-------------|------------2----|
A|--2---------------|-2-------------|-3-------------|-2----------2----|
E|--0---------------|-0-------------|-X-------------|-3---2--0---0----|
Basically an E C G E pattern with a little bass run between the G and
the E. Repeat this pattern for the entire song, except where there are
single chords, as in the beginning. N.C. means "no chord."
E E
I called this number three times already today
C G F# E
But I, I got scared, I put it back in place,
I put my phone back in place.
E E
I still don't know if I should have called up.
C G F# E
Look, just tell me why don't ya if I'm out of place.
E E

C G F# E
And wish that I had never even called up this place.
E E

Now I've watched you walk around here. I've watched you meet these

boyfriends, I know, and you tell me how they're deep.
