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!

No Picture IM A MAN WHO C Rhythm Player	#5 by IM A MAN WHO CHANGED INTO A BEAST at Dec 5, 1988 at 5:57 AM EST
	Whenever I hear the lines: Excuse the bitchin' I shouldn't complain I should have no feeling 'Cuz feeling is pain as everything I need is denied me and everything I want is taken away from me But who do I got to blame? Nobody but me It just gives me chills...its so good...I wish he would make more stuff like this...Pinkerton is cool but its more about the music and the guitars than the lyrics... which is sad when Rivers can do such awesome writing if he wants to..

	This song is my favorite on Pinkerton...ok, it's tied with Tired of Sex, Falling For You, and all the others. Anyways, this song is another fun one about shakin' booty and having a blast. I think about this song when school or my parents get me down...it throws me back in the game...I wanna get back to the gooooood life...
