Transcribed by Jon A.

Tune down a whole step (low to high: D/G/C/F/A/D) - note that the recording is about a quarter step sharp, so you'll want to tune up
just a little if you want to play along with it.

Chords:
Amaj7 - X02120
Bm11/E - 020200
A - x02220
F/C - 88(10)(10)(10)8
E/B - 779997
D - xx0232

In case there's any confusion, that F/C chord is the same fingering and shape as the E/B, just a half step higher. 8th fret, 8th
fret, 10th fret, 10th fret, 10th fret, 8th fret.

 And the rabbit's here with me
Amaj7
 Heading out Highway One

A                            F/C               E/B
 Sick and tired of wondering what your presents mean, I'm gonna
A                 F/C      E/B
 Take this rabbit into Malibu, and he'll

 Chew on sour grass while I wolf down dexadrine

 Dexadrine

The wind comes through the open window, and I
Button my shirt
And the rabbit's riding shotgun
My teeth hurt
You sent me a package
Marked "live animals instead"
And the sun's coming up quickly above the
Rising tide, and I'm

Sick and tired of trying to figure out your gestures, and I'm
Sick and tired of wondering what your presents mean, I'm gonna
Take this rabbit into Malibu, and he'll
Chew on sour grass while I wolf down dexadrine
