Perfect! It's easy as hell to play too. Great song to play at a party. Everyone realizes what song you're playing and they all start singing "yeah yeah yeah yeah YEAH YEAH YEA YEA YEA YEAH!" Of course it sounds like crap because they're all drunk, but it is still fun.

What are the chords? Not the tab?

I think there might be a mistake in the last tab at the bottom, shouldn't the F chord be [--2331]?
