Chord/Tab song: On the Roof Again

Chord,Tablature, lyric, sheet, guitar, ukulele song: On the Roof Again - ( Oops...I forgot they won't let you have more than one tab...)

--
Oops...I forgot they won't let you have more than one
tab per file, so they cut out the correct EVE 6 way

Tune down a full step (D A F C G D).

Use some distortion, typical EVE 6 sound, mid pickup
if playing a Strat-style guitar.

I will use the verse lyrics as cues for variations during
the verse, since I'm too lazy to count the bars and all.
You will pick it up quickly if you have the CD handy, it's
really pretty easy.
