Hey guys, it's me again.  My 5th tab for this week, third by the 
Chili's.  Ah, this is a cool song, well, the chorus is is the best 
part.  I love the chorus.  It's once again an easy song.  Here 
it is.  Ya know a lot of bands are getiing worse by the album. 
Our Lady Peaces' new album sux, Tragically Hips' new one sux, 
The new Offspring sux, the Californication cd by the Chili Peppers 
isn't as good as there older stuff, the older Blink 182 was the best. 
I dunno what's happening.  Well, anyway, here it is.  Enjoy!!

Well, enjoy. I don't know if the solo is entirly correct but it was 
all I could figure out tonite cause I'm really tired. I'll be back 
with another song called "Jungleman" by my good friends, The Red Hot  
Chili Peppers once again.  Comments, questions, corrections,
