+------BLUEJAYS AND CARDINALS VERSION 3------
+when this site was down for a few days, I really wanted to learn this song, so I set down to learn it myself.
+I came up with something, and me and my friend both agree that it sounds just like the album version.
+instrumental demonstration of this tab: http://www.box.net/shared/l0lc3nlkyz
+I play the intro + verse a couple of times, and at 00:51 I switch to the chorus.
+tuning: CGCCGC. the two middle Cs are the same tone.
+capo on 1st fret
+additionally, the guitar on the album version is a bit sharp.
+NOTE: for every chord, I provide notes for all six strings, but as he strums very loosely,
+it is possible that he sometimes only plays the higher three or four strings and not all six
+(especially during the riffs.) listen to the record or figure out how you like to do it.
+Intro/Verse (listen for strumming pattern, it's pretty hectic)
+C--0-----2-----0------0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0------------
+G--0-----2-----0------5-5--4-5-7-5-4-5-----------
+C--0-----2-----0------0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0----------

+C--0-----2-----5------0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0--------
+   C5*   D5    F  **  C (w/ riff)***
+*only during intro
+**during the F chord in the intro, he plays a riff which goes roughly:
+C--0-----------------------0-
+G--0-----------------------5-
+C--0-----------------------0-
+C--x-----------------------0-
+G--5-----555-555-5-55-5-5--0-
+C--5-----555-444-2-22-2-2--0-
+   F                       C5
+***keep in mind that there are times when he strums the C chord, all strings open, instead of doing this riff.
+Chorus
+C--0-----0-----0-----0--0---0-
+G--0-----0-----0-----0--0---0-
+C--0-----0-----0-----0--0---0-

+G--0-----5-----0-----5--7---0-
+C--0-----5-----0-----5--7---0-
+   C5*   F     C5    F  G   C5

+(LISTEN FOR TIMING)
+**he sometimes the C5 riff from the verse here
+pretty sure that's everything. enjoy!
