Mad World Acoustic tab by Gary Jules

Mad World - Gary Jules

I know that this was done a few times by some other
people, but I wanted a version that you could incorporate
the bass notes easily so it sounds excellent and still
is decently easy to play, so I dropped it down to C. Although
I know he does it in a different key.

Enjoy Guys

Am                       C
Children waiting for the day they feel good
G               D
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Am                      C
And I feel the way that every child should
G               D
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Am                       C
Went to school and I was very nervous
G               D
No one knew me, no one knew me
Am                    C
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
G                      D
Look right through me, look right through me
Am                    D
And I find it kind of funny
Am                D
I find it kind of sad
Am                      D
The dreams in which I'm dying
Am                     D
Are the best I've ever had
Am                     D
I find it hard to tell you
Am                D
I find it hard to take
Am                 D
When people run in circles
Am           D
It's a very, very
Am        D
