[break]

[repeat intro]

[bridge]:

   G minorGm      Bb majorBb  C minorCm
I am riding on the bus...
FF G minorGm
Gm Bb majorBb C minorCm
FF G minorGm

[chorus]

x is strum, but mute the strings at the neck
h is a hammer on
p is a pull off
/ is a SLIDE UP throughout this tab- there no chords with non-root notes
in the bass, so "Gm/Bb" is G minorGm at the 3rd fret, then slide up to Bb majorBb at the
6th and NOT G minorGm with Bb majorBb in the bass, same goes for Bb/Cm and F/Gm

it all in. Here's a couple of the main picked parts(* and + in the
chorus), if you want the full monty in tab then send me a mail.
