NOTES: The 2-3-0 is a D chord with a finger pulled off
The 3-3-0 is the bottom of the G chord. I can't really switch
as fast when putting on the whole G chord, but it still
sounds ok like I have it transcribed.

Back in Wilson High, I had two best friends
They lived down the block
Where the road stop is
G5 E5 F#5 G5
What'cha get for my bones, they fed my icecream cones
What'cha get for my happiness, wouldn't leave me alone
There is an interlude guitar riff after these versus:

<verse 2>
Back in Wilson High, said I had two best friends
Until the schoolbus came
And took away my friends
Now I'm left alone at home, to sit and think all day
<verse 3>
They gave me a hat, the hat was awful rad
Wore it every day, made my teacher mad
She tore it off my head, now my head's well, red
It gets golden-nice sometimes, but I can't be mislead
<refrain>

Here you lead, Mykel
Here you lead, Carli
Here you lead, Mykel
Here you lead, Carli

oh oh no, Mykel
