I saw this tab a while ago on Tabcrawler, but it was wrong...so I've fixed it for you. Enjoy. I used Stephen Denommee's tab as a base for my work.
Intro:
A C#m7 A C#m7, then G Bm7, then E (listen to CD for the timing and amount of repetitions)
Neat Hammer-on riff for the A and G chords in the intro and verses (you'll hear it in the actual song on the CD)
e|--5---5------3---3----|
B|--5---5------3---3----|
G|--5-h-6------3-h-4----|
D|--5-h-7------3-h-5----|
A|--5-h-7------3-h-5----|
E|--5---5------3---3----|
Verse 1:
A C#m7 A C#m7
A is for angry which is what you are at me
A C#m7 G Bm7
A is for adult which is what I'll never be
A C#m7 A C#m7
A is for applesauce, my favourite meal
A C#m7 G Bm7
A is for Adam which is how I sometimes feel
G Bm7
like I'm the only man on Earth
E
and I've forgotten what that's worth
Verse 2:
A is for Arthur he's a lovable drunk
AM&Azing like Thelonius Monk
A is for argument, A is for apparently
A is for antagonism that's not even there
it's just you begging for affection
or something I won't even mention
Chorus
Dmaj7 C#m7 A
And I don't even know why you keep on trying
Dmaj7 C#m7 A
Like I don't even know why I keep on lying
Dmaj7 C#m7 A F#m
There are millions of people in worlds of their own
G Bm7 E
And two of them can't let go.
Verse 3: (same as before)
A is for algebra, I learned it in school
A is what Fonzie said 'cause he was very cool
A is for adversary, A is for alection
A is arousal you are giving me an erection
c'mon I'm trying to show affection
for longer than a half an hour.
Chorus
Bridge
F#m C#m7
F#m C#m7
Met a woman I used to know
F#m Bm7 C#m7
Long before you, long ago.
F#m C#m7
All I could say, after hello
F#m C#m7 Dmaj7 E(VII)
Was "are you still single?"
Verse 4:
A is for attitude I can't help but wield
A is for arrogance, emotional shield
A is for acting, A is for abhorrently
A is for asshole which is what I am how rude of me
I owe you an apology
I'm sorry.
Chorus
Ok, as a foot-note, this song is easier and sounds better with barred chords, rather than open ones...Here are the ones I use below (The E in the intro/verse and chorus is open, but the one in the bridge is barred at the seventh fret). I also cannot say I'm exactly sure of the chords in the bridge, but it sounds good on its own if you aren't playing along with the recording.
A C#m7 G Bm7 E Dmaj7 F#m E(VII)
