 I know the chords are strange.  I had to get as close as I could with the
 names...
 
 
 The way you play this song is the most important part about it, and if you
 listen to it while practicing these chords it'll just come to you like
 nothing.  but for those of you who, for 
 some sad sad reason don't have this album, i'll explain it to you....
 
 
 it's played in a very SKA way, which is to say there's a lot of whole hand
 releases.  since the system of running the chords never changes - it's very
 important that you understand the changes in the way you do the system.
 
 during the verse, it played
 
 A d u d u  A2 d u d u  F#  d u d u   d u d
 
 over and over.   d's of course mean down stroke, u's of course mean
 upstrokes.  you let each ring for about one sixteenth of a second, then pull
 your hand up a little.
 
 chorus is played
 
 A d u d u  d u d  A2 d u d u  d u d  F#  d u d u  d u d u d u
 
 with the same pull off procedure.  
 
 
 
 you're not ALL that stupid.  if you know how it's played already, you
 shouldn't have bothered reading all that.  but, it can help those out there
 not farmiliar with the song.
