Tuning: E A D G B E

(although I beleive the origional song uses Abmaj7,Ab also sounds similair enough and can be used as well! feel free to stick with the origional, I'm just adding Ab to the chords so its a little easier and not as clunky as having both on there. As always, chords with a "*" are optional!) [Intro] Eb F7 Ab Cm [x2] [Verse 1]

^EbSigh into your cup of coffee ^F7as you watch the morning news ^AbThere goes your good day ^CmThere's the knot on the noose
