 I haven't bothered with the electric guitar parts, but they're not critical
 to the song anyway.

 Verse: (play main riff)
 Don't bother me
 I ain't got time for your misery
 It's not that I'm too busy
 It's just that I'm waiting for the
 I'm waiting for the
                     *(start End Verse Riff here)
 I'm waiting for the world to find somebody else
 To deal with all the scum
 
 (back into Main Riff)
 
 I'm doing fine
 In my green chair
 Watching Rush and drinking a beer
 What's that he just said something funny
 He's waiting for the 
                      *(start End Verse Riff)
 He's waiting for the world to find somebody else
 To deal with all the scum
 
 Bridge:
 Am           D            Em
 What ever happened to the way it was
      G
 The way it was
 Am          D             Em 
 What ever happened to my way
   G
 My way 
     B   C   D
 My way
 
     This part is a little tricky, because you want to transition back into
 fingerpicking from the chords (at least if you're playing it with only one
 guitar).  During the last three chords over "My way" (B C D) the following
 part is also picked.
 
 e -------------------------------
 B ----------------(main riff)----
 G -------0--------0--------0----- ....continue with the main riff from here.
 D ---1-4---4-1------2--------4---  If you're playing solo, pick a spot to
 A -2------------3-----3--5-----5-  jump from the chords into the riff.
 E -------------------------------
 
 (play main riff)
 Don't make a sound
 There's someone at the door
 They're probably pushing 
 Freedom of whatever it is today
 Be quiet and hope they go away
 
 We're waiting for the 
 We're waiting for the world to find somebody else
 To deal with all the scum
 
 End TAB
 
 This is just some extra stuff that gets thrown in as the chorus is repeated
 over and over again at the end of the song.  There's a high guitar part that
 gets layered in near the end, and while I can't make out most of it, this
 is at least part of it.
 
 e -3-----------5-------6------    this part comes in on the word "deal"
 B -----1-----3---3---4---4----    in "...deal with all the scum."
 G ---0---0---------0-------7--
 D ----------------------------
 A ----------------------------
 E ----------------------------
