Hey fairweather friend, you know you're ripping me down again
And I don't car what you say, I can tell when we play that you don't believe in me
So this is how it'll end, like it was all just a waste of time
Now I got nowhere to go, I think I'll call up my bro I do believe he can save my hide
I've had enough of your alibis

Hey drummer boy
Do you remember the beat that we played in the street in the faded summer time
Hey keep me hangin on
Now I got nowhere to go I think I'll call up my bro I do believe that he can save my hide
What you think fairweather friend

ADDITIONAL LYRICS: (Verse 2)
Hey mystery man, ain't you the guy with the master plan
I'll watch you sit n that fence just like your fuckin' parents they never did like me anyway
And no I won't be your ass while you go look for some greener grass
No I can't be the fool who watch you push in your stool and stick around just in case you fail
Go find some other bitch to nail
Repeat Chorus (Play After Chorus Fill #2 second time)

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 WHEATUS 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.
