Dont Download This Song Tab

by Weird Al Yankovic


After a night of perfecting the chords, I think me and my dad figured out this hilarious 
by Weird Al.  Hope you enjoy!

********************************************************

Intro:       

Verse 1:
                     
Once in awhile maybe you will feel the urge
                               
To break international copyright law
                          
By downloading MP3's from file sharing sites
                                            
Like Morpheus or Grockster or Limewire or KaZaA


Verse 2:
                                     
But Deep in your heart you know the guilt would drive you mad
                                    
And the shame would leave a permanent scar
                                                
'Cause you start out stealing songs then you're robbing liquor stores
                                                        
And sellin' crack and runnin' over school kids with your car


Chorus 1:
                       
So Don't download this song
                               
The record store's where you belong
                                  
Go and buy the CD like you know you should
                      
Oh, don't download this song


Verse 3:
                                  
Oh, you don't wanna' mess with the R-I-double-A
                                
They'll sue you if you burn that CD-R
                                        
Doesn't matter if you're a grandma or a seven year old girl
                                                             
They'll treat you like the evil hard-bitten criminal scum you are

Chorus 1:
                       
So don't Download this song  (Don't go)
                       
Pirating music all day long
                                 
Go and buy the CD like you know you should
                       
Oh, don't download this song


Bridge:
                           
Don't take away money from artists just like me
                             
How else can I afford another solid gold Hum-Vee
       
And diamond studded swimming pools
        
These things don't grow on trees
                           
So all I ask is everybody, please...

Chorus 2:
                    
Don't download this song  (Oh please don't you do it, or you)
                                 
Might wind up in jail like Tommy Chong  (Remember Tommy)
                                  
Go and buy the CD like you know you should  (Go out and buy it)
                       
Oh, don't download this song

Chorus 3:
                    
Don't download this song  (No, no, no, no, no, no)
                              
You'll burn in hell before too long  (And you deserve it)
                                               
Go and buy the CD (Just buy it) like you know you should (you really should)
                       
Oh, don't download this song
