Pretty sure it's correct. I don't usually do tabs, but this sounds pretty good.
For best results, use a ukulele, like Josh :)
We heard it Cover the Gwires

but we Amnever really even felt Ghired
so we felt Dmbad, but not that Gbad.
We just Cpressed the Gchords
started Amsinging like we sung beGfore
we got enAmough so who needs Gmore
