 Artist: Weezer
 Song:   The Good Life (Acoustic)
 Tabbed by Josh Lambka (Burttioman)
 This is the acoustic version of The Good Life by Weezer.  Chord names are 
 listed above the tabs.  I tried to get the timing on the lyrics, which 
 came pretty close, but if the didn't the chords will give youa a general
 idea of how to play it.  Play of the intros 4 times at the beginning 
 of the song. They both sound good, but the second one is a little 
 easier to play.  Have fun!
