(Once again, I had trouble with double digit numbers...I didn't
want you to think that you had to play 1 and 1 together. However,
like the other notes, play 14 and 12 together in a rapid motion
such as 141414...this was the way I wanted it.)

"My name is St. Jimmy. I'm a son of a gun. I'm the one that's from
the way outside. I'm a teenage assassin executing some fun in
the cult of the life of crime. I'd really hate to say it, but I told
you so, so shut your mouth before I shoot you down ol' boy. Welcome
to the club and give me some blood. I'm the resident leader of
the lost and found."

"It's comedy and tragedy. "..and don't wear it out."
It's St. Jimmy, and that's my
name..."
This is the best song I can play...so I think this is a good tab.
Have fun!
