Song: "Friend is a Four-Letter Word" by Cake
Album: Fashion Nugget

	Its me again.  this song I'm a little less sure about than 'the distance' because I went to the bathroom during this song.  Here goes:

Main Acoustic Riff:

e:I-----------0---------------0---------------1---------
B:I---------1---1-----------1---1-----------1---1-------
G:I-------2-------2-------0-------0-------2-------2-----
D:I-----2-----------2---2-----------2---3-----------3---
A:I---0---------------3---------------------------------
E:I-----------------------------------1-----------------

e:----------2--------I      Repeat this many times, 		
B:--------3---3------I	   listening to the song for
G:------2-------2----I      variations.(At some points,
D:----0-----------0--I      he stays on the A-minor a
A:-------------------I	   few extra times)
E:--2----------------I


Distorted Riff(heard after first verse)

e:I-----------------------------------------I
B:I-----------------------------------------I
G:I-------7-7-6-5-5-------------------------I
D:I--7-7--7-7-6-5-5--5-5-4-3-3--7-7-6-4-4---I
A:I--7-7--5-5-4-3-3--5-5-4-3-3--7-7-6-4-4---I
E:I--5-5-------------3-3-2-1-1--5-5-4-2-2---I

	That's basically the whole song, except for variations of these parts.  Simple, yet cool at the same time.
