This is basically my modification of the other tab out there so that you can avoid 
big slide changes doing bar chords all the time. Remember the capo at 3 if you 
want to play it in key with the recording. 
Capo 3
[Intro]
G D Em B C G D
[Verse]
So, I'm Glistening for the Dweather,
To preEmdict the coming Bday.

Busy Emwith their starring Em7roles
In their own A7tragedies.

So, I'm listening for the weather,

To predict the coming day.

Leave all thought of expectation

To the weatherman.

No it doesn't really matter

What it is he has to say,

All the people that I know

And this busy inner city

Hanging 'round the letterbox.

You'll be somewhere on your way,

In a supermarket checkout
