MUSTARD PLUG - big daddy multitude - "mr. smiley"

Tab written by:  Michael Raven ([email protected])

hi all. this is the guitar tab for 'mr. smiley' by mustard plug, from
their album 'big daddy multitude'. for the most part, the chords should
be right, and i'm assuming you all know how to play ska on your guitars.
lyrics may be a bit off, but oh well, this is guitar tab, not poetry
lessons :) ...have fun and enjoy =)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

[intro]:

(this little part of the ditty is played mostly by strumming the strings
separately, not in whole chord fashion, also, colin seems to maneuver his
fingers around a bit to get some very high notes in these chords. while
im not going to take the time to figure it all out note for note, the
chords listed below formt he basic foudnation for the intro, as well as
the rest of the song.)

D / A / Bm / G

 repeat once>

[verses]:

(now make all the chords skanky.)

D / A / Bm/ G

 repeat all through verses>

verse 1:  i remember how it used to be
	  and all the things you said to me
	  you always taught me right from wrong
	  (wrong from right, right from wrong)
	  till you went on a killing spree
	  and killed your family
	  why is this the way things have to be
	  tell me

 chorus>

verse 2:  you always had a smile on your face (so big)
	  i never thought you'd be a criminal case
	  till i saw your face on my tv
	  was it just for entertainment
	  'cause now you face solitary confinement (in jail)
	  why is the way things have to be
	  tell me

 chorus until the end>


[chorus]:

(the same old chord progression is used here, except that colin decides
to take the Bm up an octave (this is a pain to play sometimes!) so keep
that in mind while playing.)

D / A / Bm / G

oh mr. smiley
how could it be true
the things they say that they knew
i can't believe it
what has happened to you
i took my time
while thinking it through
digging for facts
believing in you
oh mr. smiley
would you give me a clue
why they said it was you
i can't accept it
tell me it's not true
'cause you were once so good to me
oh mr. smiley, tell me how it could be

[guitar/trombone post-chorus]:

(same chords, but this time i believe they are played as either barred,
or else a barre dropping out the top 2 or 3 notes, leaving only the
bottom three.)

D / A / Bm/ D
