EFFINGTON
BEN FOLDS

Album: WAY TO NORMAL

Tabbed by Nicolas Levy Renaud

STANDARD TUNING - CAPO 5 (Scroll down for no capo version)

NO CHORD:
If there's a god,
he's laughing at us
And our football team.

INTRO: C majorC

VERSE 1:
C majorC
Effington could be a wonderful f'ing place
I can see it from the highway
And I'm wondering
     C majorC
Are they f'ing in their yards
f'ing in their cars
f'ing in the trailers and the backroads and the parking lots of Effington
Making my way to Normal, Illinois.

C majorC

VERSE 2:
C majorC
Maybe I should ditch this little white rental on the interstate
And start a new f'ing life...in effington
C majorC
I could change my name, grow a beard, start a family
Or I could just keep on moving on, moving on, moving on, moving on
Not stop 'til I get to Normal.

CHORUS 1:
A minorAm G+G  FF C majorC  G+G  C majorC
I  want to live in Effington
A minorAm G+G  FF C majorC   G+G  C majorC
I  want to die there too.

Please bury me in Effington
G+G  C majorC
In Effington
G+G  C majorC
In Effington

Oh

C majorC

VERSE 2:
C majorC
I've got this movie in my mind of Effington
                   Bb majorBb   C majorC
And the soundtrack to it sounds like this

CHORUS 2:
A minorAm G+G  FF C majorC  G+G  C majorC
I  want to live in Effington
A minorAm G+G  FF C majorC   G+G  C majorC
I  want to die there too.

VERSE 3:

     And then the people who live in Normal
Can buy the movies that I'll make in Effinghton
That's what normal people do

Normal people do it too
Normal people do it
People do it
