		         BAD FOR YOU - Haley Bonar
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This tab is for C.G.

I first saw Haley Bonar when she opened for Andrew Bird at the Chicago Opera House in
2009. This song was my favorite, mostly because its such a raw, exposed song that's all
simple, and taken from a video, so I'm 100% that this is how she plays it.

In the video I watched she has capo on 1st fret, but in her Daywalker Session recording, 
is played without. Also in the Daywalker session she arpeggiated all the chords, 
she just strummed the chords in the video.

Intro: 

                                                
Everything's bad for you, honey, everything's bad for you

Don't forget what they told ya, you'll never be older,
                          
Cause everything's bad for you.



Don't laugh too much, or cry too much,
                       
Or eat a candy bar for your lunch

If hope don't dope or hate the Pope             <-(not sure on these lyrics)

Or use unhypoallergenic soap

Don't eat don't chew don't drive your car
                  
Or pick up strange men from the bar

Pet stray cats or smoke cigars
                         
Cause all of it's bad for you

     
Ohh- Everything's bad for you
                            
From the sun and the sky and the gum on your shoe

Sleepin' in too much and havin' nothin' to do
                       
Oh everything's bad for you


Everything's bad for you
                  
Rock and roll, and the government too

Swearin' and starin' into swimmin' pools
                    
Everything's bad for you


T.V. shows and magazines
                  
Huffin' on markers and gasoline

Dressin' like a tramp or a beauty queen

Tryin' to get to Heaven when your hands ain't clean


     
Ohh- Everything's bad for you
                            
From the sun and the sky and the gum on your shoe

Sleepin' in too much and havin' nothin' to do
                       
Oh everything's bad for you
                       
Oh everything's bad for you
                       
Oh everything's bad for you


Last notes: The last verse and last chorus were not in the Daywalker Session either. 
I promise I didn't make them up. They were in the video I tabbed from.
