This work is my own interpretation of chords that should work to do the
song on
acoustic guitar by oneself. The "riff" chords are optional. I actually
start
singing it at half-speed and gradually speed up through the song and the
audiences
seem to find it interesting and amusing. Not a song people expect to hear
(But if you are not a real decent tenor or a female then I suggest notching
it
down like I have it here)
