                   Tabbed by Howard Wright

                   Can't remember the name of the album
                   it's from, but it's the one with the
                   child-like colourful drawings of the
                   band on the front.

Intro/Main Riff :
------------------ 

This is all based on the sus2 shape :

 EADGBE
 x24422

  Bsus2

Just move it up two D, then down to A, then back to B.

E-----------------------------5-------------------------------2----| 
B---------2----2--------5------------------------0------------2----| 
G---------4----4--------------------------2----2---------4---------| 
D---------4----4------7-------------------2--2---------4-----------| 
A--2--2-2----2------5------5-------0-0-0-------------2------2------| 
E------------------------------------------------------------------| 


Verse :
-------- 

Keep repeating the main riff over these words :


I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know if you know what I mean

(Repeat once)

Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box
Religion is the smile on a dog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know if you know what I mean
De-doo yeah


Chorus:
-------- 

Em              D
Chuck me in the shallow water

Em               D
Before I get too deep

(Repeat once - I think ..)


Then back to the main riff.

The whole song is just these two parts - the sus2 riff
alternating with Em and D for the chorus.

There's a little lead line on guitar over the chorus :


  Em                     D

E---12---15---12-----12---------14---12------| 
B----------------15------15--15----------15--| 
G--------------------------------------------| 
D--------------------------------------------| 
A--------------------------------------------| 
E--------------------------------------------| 

    Chuck  me in  the    shallow water


That's about it !
