Version 1
            Tabbed by Jon Riley (-.leftoutkid.fsnet.co.uk)

This is a really cool song I think by  Elliot Smith originally, but covered also by a band called "Bad 
whose
front man is/was the singer from "Lagwagon"...both bands should be checked out.

I haven't bothered to check up the exact chord names..and in certain places he uses bar chords i 
this is it!

Am     F           Am
 your hand on his arm

 the hay stack charm around your neck
   F              Am
 strung out and thin
    F            C              E          Am
 calling some friend trying to cash some check
        F      Am

 [Verse 3]

  F          Am
 now on the bus
  F        C            E       Am
 nearly touching this dirty retreat
  F      Am   F        C             E          Am
 falling out 6th and powell a dead sweat in my teeth
        F           Am
 gonna walk walk walk
  F          C              E          Am
 four more blocks plus the one in my break
  F          Am  F       C
 down downstairs to the man
             E           Am
 he's gonna make it all ok
          F        Am
 i can't beat myself
          F        C
 i can't beat myself
         E             Am
 and i don't want to talk
       F        Am       F         C
 i'm taking the cure so i can be quiet
   E         F
 whenever i want
             G
 so leave me alone
      E          Am            F                   Am
 you ought to be proud that i'm getting good marks
