Tired of Sex by Weezer off Pinkerton.
I know this is normal tuning and it probably should be should be dropped a
half a step, if you know to tune your guitar down, and can tell the difference
you're probably good enough to tune down and play a half step higher.
Intro and background riffs. Don't play the notes in () during the intro.
Based on Alan Kouba's intro

I know I didn't put in all of the chords, but if you listen to the song,
you'd have to be completely tone deaf not to be able to hear the
differnt patterns. However if there is any questions or corrections,
tell me at queler@besteb.net. ---Adam Queler

Butterfly by weezer
G Em C D G
Yesterday I went outside, with my mama's mason jar.
Em C *
Caught a lovely butterfly.
G Em C D G
When I woke up today, looked in on my fairy pet.
Em C * D
She had withered all away, no more sighing in her breast.
G Em C
I'm sorry for what I did, I did what my body told me to
D G G7 C
I didn't mean to do you, harm. Every time I pin down what I think
D G Em C
I want, it slips away, the ghost slips away.
CCG Em C D G
Smell you on my hand for days, I can't wash away your scent.
Em C *
If I'm a dog then you're a bitch.
G Em C D G
I guess you're as real as me, maybe I can live with that.
Em C * D
Maybe I need fantasy, life of chasing butterfly.
G Em C
I'm sorry for what I did, I did what my body told me to, I
D G G7 C
didn't mean to do you, hon. Every time I pin down what I
D G Em C CCC
think I want it slips away, the ghost slips away.
(SLOW)
CCG Em C D G
I told you I would return, when the robin makes his nest.
Em C * G
I ain't never comin back, I'm sorry,
Em C
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
