Another user did a pretty good job of tabbing this song, but I found that a few of his
notes were off. The key is to keep the bass line with your thumb during the intro. Sorry
for the messy tab, it's my first one.
Capo: 4
( ) indicates a ghost note, or a note that is played quieter than the others. Listen to
the song for the exact rhythm on the intro.

I wake up every morning
Keep an eye on what I spend

Got to think about eating

That one about happiness and money?

Happy as a man can be

Under this old tree
