[chorus]
 
[break]
 
[repeat intro]
 
[bridge]:
 
     Gm            Bb            Cm
I am riding on the bus  I am working at my job

     F                                  Gm
I am coming down your driveway     I am giving you a chance
 
[chorus]
 
x is strum, but mute the strings at the neck
h is a hammer on
p is a pull off
/ is a SLIDE UP throughout this tab- there no chords with non-root notes
in the bass, so "Gm/Bb" is Gm at the 3rd fret, then slide up to Bb at the
6th and NOT Gm with Bb in the bass, same goes for Bb/Cm and F/Gm
 
 
chords
