Here is a song called "Androgynous" done by The Crash Test Dummies.
The song was originally done by The Replacements but I don't have that

Intro:
G D Em C
Verse:
G D
Here comes Dick, he's wearing a skirt
Em C
Here comes Jane you know she's sportin' a chain
G
Same hair, a revolution
D
Same build, evolution
Em C
Tomorrow who's gonna fuss?
D C G
And they love each other so, androgynous
D C
Closer than you know, love each other so, androgynous
Well don't get him wrong, and don't get him mad
He might be a father but he sure ain't a dad
And she don't need the advice that is sent to her
She's happy with the way she looks, she's happy with her gender
And they love each other so, androgynous
Closer than you know, love each other so, androgynous
Bridge:
C Em
Mirror image, see no damage, see no evil at all
C Em
Cupie dolls and urine stalls will be laughed at
D
The way you're laughed at now
Something meets boy and something meets girl
They both look the same, they're overjoyed in this world
Same hair a revolution
Unisex evolution
Tomorrow who's gonna fuss?
And tomorrow Dick is wearing pants,
Tomorrow Jane is wearing a dress
Future outcasts and they don't last
And today people dress the way that they please
They way they tried to do in the last centuries
And they love each other so, androgynous
Closer than you know, love each other so, androgynous

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CRASH TEST DUMMIES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
