[G]I've just been to see my [Dm7]best friend
[G]he's got another [Dm7]girl
[G]says she's just about the [Dm7]best thing
[G]in the whole damn [Dm7]world
And he [C]says can't you see what the [G]little lady's done for me
[C]says it like he thinks I'm [Bm]blind
but the [C]things that you see ain't nece[G]ssarily the things you can [D]find

[C]those happy [D]couples ain't no friends of [G]mine
[G][C][D]
{eoc}
[G]People say I'm too damn [Dm7]fussy
[G]when it comes to [Dm7]girls
[G]happy couples say I [Dm7]must live

Wanna [C]be, wanna really be [G]what my friends pretend to be
[C]be it in my own good [Bm]time
being [C]kind to myself till I be[G]come one of two of a [D]kind

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 JOE JACKSON 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.
