                ------------------------------


                   Can't remember the name of the album
                   it's from, but it's the one with the
                   child-like colourful drawings of the
                   band on the front.

Intro/Main Riff :
------------------

This is all based on the sus2 shape :

 EADGBE
 x24422

  Bsus2

Just move it up two D, then down to A, then back to B.


E-----------------------------5-------------------------------2----|
B---------2----2--------5------------------------0------------2----|

E------------------------------------------------------------------|

Verse :
--------

Keep repeating the main riff over these words :


I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know if you know what I mean

(Repeat once)

Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box
Religion is the smile on a dog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know if you know what I mean
De-doo yeah


Chorus:
--------

Em              D
Chuck me in the shallow water

Em               D
Before I get too deep

(Repeat once - I think ..)


Then back to the main riff.

The whole song is just these two parts - the sus2 riff
alternating with Em and D for the chorus.

There's a little lead line on guitar over the chorus :


  Em                     D

E---12---15---12-----12---------14---12------|
B----------------15------15--15----------15--|
G--------------------------------------------|
D--------------------------------------------|
A--------------------------------------------|
E--------------------------------------------|

    Chuck  me in  the    shallow water


That's about it !
