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
