Oxford Comma
by Vampire Weekend

There isn't any guitar in the verse or pre-chorus, so you either stand around for ages
sing instead.
To get the rhythm for the solo right just listen to the song n u'll get it.
During the Chorus strum power chords over the top. Tabbing towards the end btw.

Lyrics/Chords

Verse:
G+G
Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?
D MajorD                              G+G          D MajorD
I've seen those English dramas too, They're cruel
G+G                           D MajorD
So if there's any other way To spell the word
               G+G        D MajorD
It's fine with me, with me


Pre-Chorus:
C majorC                      D MajorD
Why would you speak to me that way
G+G                 D MajorD
Especially when I always said that I
C majorC               D MajorD
Haven't got the words for you
G+G                D MajorD
All your diction dripping with disdain
C majorC                  D MajorD
Through the pain I always tell the truth


Verse:
G+G
Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?
D MajorD                       G+G   D MajorD
I climbed to Dharamsala too I did
G+G
I met the highest lama
D MajorD                       G+G      D MajorD
His accent sounded fine to me, to me

Why would you lie about how much coal you have?
G+G                       A minorAm
Why would you lie about something dumb like that?
C majorC                       D MajorD
Why would you lie about anything at all?
