I did this tab because the other one is completely wrong. Im still trying to fix the
problems (mostly the chords in the chorus), and also figure out the picking in the
other than that, its correct. listen to the song to find out which chords are played on
octave, because that gets confusing. (pay attentions to the astricks ******)
good luck.

I have been trying
To write a haiku for you
Some things I just can’t do
Maybe you’re beyond
Ancient asian poetry
Or maybe it’s just me
I have been trying
To get this haiku just right all night
For you; alright I’m through
Maybe this poem
Was lost in the sauce we spilled
That never got refilled
I’ve never thought much
Of formulaic verse anyway
And rhymes are not my forte
I have been trying
To get this haiku just right all night
For you; alright I’m through
CHORUS:
* * *
I’m trying not to try too hard
* *
But you’re hard to write down right
* * *
So I pen these tried attempts
* **
At haikus for you tonight

Lah dah dee diddum
Lah dah dee doom doo ditto
Dum doo lah dee doh
(N..)
There, that’s sufficient
I wrote a haiku for you
Well I tried at least, and that’s not so bad
I’m working here; can that be said for you
CHORUS:
* * *
I’m trying not to try too hard
* *
But you’re hard to write down right
* * *
So I pen these tried attempts
* **
At haikus for you tonight
* * *
Words don’t work like Webster says
* * *
They trip me up all night
* * *
I’m just trying to write for you
* * **
But you’re hard to write down right
