These are the two songs from Cake I found the chord progression for.  I
haven't learned the words yet, so you must excuse me for not listing the
lyrics.

Have fun...I hope it's right if you have any questions e-mail me at

Band:  Cake

This song is kind of easy, it only has five notes.  The solos are simple
licks using regular major scales.

He starts off almost scr*ping his strings with his pick:
muted...                        1st time            2nd time wide open
      A x8    D x8    G x8     C x8          E x16
1|   5          5       |   3          3        |        0
2|   5          7       |   3          5        |        0
3|   6          7       |   4          5        |        1
4|   7          7       |   5          5        |        2
5|   7          5       |   5          3        |        2
6|   5          x       |   3                    |        0

That is it.   This song is cake.

At first I was afraid.
I was petrified.
I kept thinking I could never live
Without you by my side.
But then I spent so many nights
