I loved the song so I attempted to tab it. There are some mistakes I guees, mostly in
chorus so if you have any idea, suggest a correction plz.
Originally it's played 1 step down, but you can play it in the standard tuning too.

So settle on in and our song we shall sing.

D MajorD
It happened one day in a ring by a farm
C majorC A minorAm
Some that tragically brought us much harm
D MajorD
How could a place abundant with charm
C majorC A minorAm D MajorD
Create such a beast with a spear for an arm.

and the beer is all gone and the elders are pissed.

And if they ever should find the fool

And spin him around until he gets sick

So one final thought before I depart,
