I did this tab because the other one is completely wrong. Im still trying to fix the

good luck.

I [Em7]have been trying
To wri[C]te a hai[D]ku for you[Em7]
Som[C]e things I jus[D]t cant do
M[Em7]aybe youre beyond[C]
Ancient a[D]sian poetry[Em7]
O[C]r maybe i[D]ts just me

To ge[C]t this haiku[D] just rig[Em]ht all nigh[A]t
For you[Em]; alrigh[A]t Im t[C]hrough

Was lost[C] in the sauce[D] we spilled[Em7]
Tha[C]t never go[D]t refilled
I[Em7]ve never thought much
Of formu[C]laic ver[D]se anyway[Em7]
An[C]d rhymes are n[D]ot my forte
