This is my first time tabbing something out and posting it usually it's easy enough to find stuff on here but
the other tab of this here didn't hat the EM7 in the verses or the little licks through the song so I figured
I'd throw this out there for people. You might think I don't have all of the fills in there but when in doubt
just play the default one, it's probably what goes there. All of the chords are barred power chords that stretch
either in major or minor across all strings, except sometimes A. I watched a lot of this video to get the idea
of how Jeff plays it. http://vimeo.com/52062742
The EM7 is the only chord i feel i need to show as a chord the one directly below is how he plays it; I think.

HAVE FUN WITH IT BOYZ
Jeff Rosenstock
Amen
I Look Like Shit
E EM7
Waiting to go to school on some suburban road
A F# A
They took my backpack and emptied it in the snow
B
The kids at the bus stop screamed nothing.
E Dbm A
E EM7
I saw an old lady one time on Astor Place
A F# A
steal an old man's glasses and punch him in the face
B
Me and the others screamed nothing.
E Dbm A
A
And what's the difference if the bombs fall from the sky
E Ab
And what's the difference if you like being alive
A B E
Yeah what's the difference, 'cause we're all just gonna die.
Piano riff
E EM7
A crucifix and two framed pictures of the pope
A F# A
I passed them all as I got evicted from my home.
B
My Catholic landlord screamed "Amen."
E Dbm A
A
We don't believe in God or spirits in the sky.
E Ab
Unless we're desperate and need to justify
A B
the shitty things we do so we apologize
Db E
"Ya gotta get rid of my guilt, God."
A
Before I fled the scene I smeared my shit along the baseboards
E Ab
Took the moldy foodstuffs, lined them up along the tile floor
A
Jerked off on the window screen, fridge open and toilet running
E Ab F# E
Barely felt reprieve before the deluge of regret came flooding
A
Now I can't get to sleep because I have this useless conscience.
E Ab
And I can't get revenge due to this stupid moral compass.
A B E
And honestly I feel that all these feelings aren't worth it in the end.

A
We don't believe in God or spirits in the sky
E Ab
Unless we're desperate or know someone who died.
A B
We gain perspective and a brand new lease on life
Dbm Ab
Then still do shitty things when the moment arrives.
A
So what's the difference if the bombs fall from the sky
E Ab F# E
So what's the difference if you like being alive
A B
Yeah what's the fucking point of thinking as you die
Dbm
"Ya gotta forgive all my sins, God."
