Everything's Ruined
-------------------
Transcribed by: Harley Jackson  (harls@npr.com.au)

Here is my interpretation of this great song. I haven't made much of an 
attempt at tabbing the timing; listen to the song to pick this up. I've 
also only tabbed the chords if there is some fingering in the bar, 
otherwise I've just written the name of the chord. I generally play the
barre version of the chord.

Notation:
	
	F# / /...       keep strumming F# (even if it's not shown on the tab)
	(F#)            play quietly
	2h3             hammer on
	h2              play the note by hammering it on
	3p2             pull off
	7b(9)           bend
	7b(9)r7         bend and release
	F#  E          play F# cord then slide down to E
	10/1710        slide up then down

	 a bouncing little baby                          a shiny copper penny


       D                            A
and he spent himself      would not listen to us


D                                 A                          (F#)
but when he lost his appetite  he lost his weight in friends

Baby became a fat nickel so fast  then came puberty   exponentially


	 F# / / /     C  B  F# / /...
soon our boy became a million


       D                       A
people loved him so and helped him to grow


D                                          A
everyone know the thing that was best   of course he must invest


	      F# / / /...             G / / F# G  A / / /...
A penny won't do   no   a penny won't do   no  oh         (repeat)



Guitar break: (like the intro, but ending G B A instead of G F# A)

G  A B A  fig (1)   G  B A



       G / /...           E / /...
But he made us proud   he made us rich

and how were we to know   he's counterfeit
