Dont Download This Song Tab

by Weird Al Yankovic


I've attempted to work on the previous version posted here by hikkle0202 on UG. 

Haha, had lots of fun tabbing this, Weird Al is great. :-)


     



Once in a while
      
Maybe you will feel the urge
                               
To break international copyright law
       
By downloading mp3s
     
From file sharing sites
                                           
Like Morpheus or Grokster or Limewire or Kazza


    
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 selling crack
                                      
And running over school kids with your car


                            
So don't download this song
                              
The record store is where you belong
                                  
Go and buy the CD like you know that you should
                  
Oh don't download this song


  
    Oh you don’t want to mess
         
With the RI-double-A
                                  
They'll sue you if you burn that CD-R
           
It 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


                            
So don't download this song        (don't go)
                       
Pirating music all day long
                                  
Go and buy the CD like you know that you should
                  
Oh don't download this song


      
Don't take away money
     
From artists just like me
                            
How else can I afford another solid gold Humvee
          
And diamond studded swimming pools
      
These things don't grow on trees
                            
So all I ask is everybody pleaseeeeee

 
                     
So don't download this song  (don't do it no no)
                          
Even Lars Urlich knows it's wrong (you could just ask him)
                                                
Go and buy the CD like you know that you should (you really should)
                     
Oh don't download this song 


                  
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 (right now) like you know that you should (go out and buy it)
                    
Oh don't download this song 


                  
Don't download this song (no no no no no no)
                                
Or you'll burn in hell before too long (and you deserve it)
                                                   
Go and buy the CD (just buy it) like you know that you should (you cheap b*****d)
