CHORDS: [as transcribed by Jeff Elkins <jeff.elkins@nashville.com> ]
-------
You MUST use a capo on the 4th fret, all chords and chord names
are relative to the capo.

EADGBE         EADGBE
D/F#  (2x023x)    D  (xx0232)
G2    (3x020x)    G  (320033)
Em    (0x00xx)    Em (022000)
Cmaj7 (x32003)    F  (133211)
or (x32033)    C  (x32010)
D4    (x54005)          |
D*    (x54007)        These chords are used in the chorus.
|
These chords are used in the intro, the verses, and the bridge.


This tablature would not have come about without the help of Jeff
Elkins <jeff.elkins@nashville.com>. He transcribed the chord-version
with a capo at the 4th fret. He distinguishes 3 guitars.
I also would like to thank Evan C. Parker <ecpark@mail.wm.edu> for his
initial transcription of this song, just like Shawn Maschino
<smachno@adams.berk.net> and Maarten Klaassen <mok@dds.nl>.
My tab is for 1 guitar only. For the other guitar parts, look at
Jeff's tab!
In verse 2, a clean guitar plays the tab, a clean guitar strums the
chords, and a semi-distorted guitar plays a few riffs. I have
incorporated those riffs in the tab, in such away that one guitar can
play both the tab and the riffs.


INTRO: [Clean guitar]
------
First play Cmaj7 D4 Cmaj7, then:

E|--3---2------------|
B|----------3--------|
G|--------------0--2-|
D|----0---0----------|
A|--3---3---3--------|
E|-------------------|

Lyrics are: Hey-ey, hey, etc etc


VERSE 1: [Clean guitar]
--------
D/F#  G2   D/F#    Em
An old   man, turned 98.
D/F# G2      D/F#          Em
He won the lottery, and died the next day
D/F#  G2      D/F#        Em
It's a black fly, in your Chardonnay.
D/F#      G2        D/F#        Em
It's a death row pardon, 2 minutes too late.
D/F#  G2          D/F#    Em
Isn't it ironic...don't you think?

                D  G          D       Em
It's like rain    on your wedding day
                D    G             D       Em
It's a free ride   when you've already paid
                    D    G          D           Em
It's the good advice   that you just didn't take

And who would have thought...it figures


VERSE 2: [Clean guitar, same chords as Verse 1]
--------
Mr. Play It Safe, was afraid to fly.
He packed his suitcase, and kissed his kids goodbye.
He waited his whole damn life, just to take that flight.
And as the plane crashed down, he thought "well isn't this nice.."
And isn't it ironic.... don't you think?

everything is going right
        Cmaj7
And life has a funny way

of helping you out when you think everything's gone wrong and
    Cmaj7
everything blows up in your face

A traffic jam, when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams and then meeting his beautiful wife.
And isn't it
