						 [=====Play Very Quickly===============]

Verse
"The tires are the things on your car that make contact with the road..."
G----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------5--5----------5--5-----------7--7-------7--7--7------------------------------------5--5-----------------------------
A--3---------------3-----------4---5----------5-----------------5--5------5--------2-----3-----------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------------------3-----------3-----3--5-------------------------------------------

NOTE: The verse stays more or less the same until the funk jam part of
the song...Mike adds lots of extra fills and licks to
spice up the bass part.  It moves up a step after a while:

Again, improvise as much as possible here

Funk Jam
There is a little lead-in after Trey sings "Bummed is what you are when you go
out to your car and it's been towed..."

An easy slap riff...improvise as much as possible

After the funk jam, the bass cuts out while just the guitar plays, and the band
returns to the chorus...
