Hey Ya Tab

by Mat Weddle


Hey Ya covered by Mat Weddle of Obadiah Parker
Standard Tuning: EADGBe

I tried to tab this song just by watching the video on YouTube 
it hard to see or hear what the G-like chord really is but I gave it my

CAPO ON 4TH

Chords Used:  (I personally think that the first G sounds better but in the
video it looks like he's playing the second G so you can decide).

[Verse One:]
             
My baby don't mess around

Because she loves me so
                   
And this I know for sure...
                
Uh, But does she really wanna

But can't stand to see me
            
Walk out the door...
            
Can't stand to fight the feelin'
                                              
Because the thought alone is killing me right now...
                 
Thank god for mom and dad

For sticking two together
                    
'Cause we don't know how...


[Chorus:]
      
Hey... Ya...
   
Hey Ya...

[Verse Two:]

You think you've got it

Ohh, you think you've got it

But got it just don't get it
                        
Till' there's nothing at all..

We get together

Oh, we get together
                                                  
But seperate's always better when there's feelings involved
                   
If what they say is "Nothing is forever"
                     
Then what makes, Then what makes, Then what makes

Then what makes, then what makes, Love the exception
           
So why you, why you

Why you, why you, why you are we so in denial
                            
When we know we're not happy heeeerrreeee...

[Chorus]


[Bridge]
           
Alright now fellas
                            
Now what's cooler than bein' cool?
            
I can't hear ya' now
                              
I say what's cooler than bein' cool?

Now alright (repeats multiple times, just play verse chords)
                                                             
Now ladies, yeah we're gonna bring it down in just a few seconds here
             
Don't make me bring it down for nothin'

I wanna see you on y'all's baddest behavior
 
   Lend me some sugar
 
I am your neighbor

Shake it, shake it like a Polaroid Picture (Multiple times+scratches and the first chord of every change)


[Chorus]
