The Freshmen Chords

  			The Freshmen - Jay Brannan (Cover of The Verve Pipe 
Tabbed by:  Tim Hoekstra 
Tuning: Standard 


This tab is pretty close to the piano part. 

CAPO: put it on 2, but don't cover the bottom E string.  It seems weird, but work with  
it until you can play the E string un-capo-ed and the top 5 strings (ADGBe) with  
  
at the same time. 

*note: if you can't get the 5 string capo thing to work for you, just play the "OPEN" in  
the Chorus as a 0 on the third (D) string.  I suppose you could use a DADGBe tuning,  
but I don't like retuning my guitar all the time if I don't have to. 

All fretting is numbered from the capo. 

Have Fun!

Here's where the 5-string capo arrangement comes into play: it gives you the low note he  
plays on the piano.  In this tab, it's written as "OPEN", just don't fret anything when  
you play it.

Intro: (Verse Riff) 

verse 1: (Verse Riff) 
When I was young I knew everything 
And she a punk who rarely ever took advice 
Now I'm guilt-stricken, sobbing with my head on the floor 
Stop a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice, no 

Pre-Chorus: (Pre-Chorus Riff) 
I can't be held responsible, 'cause she was touching her face 
I won't be held responsible, she fell in love in the first place 

Chorus:
