Hey Ya covered by Mat Weddle of Obadiah Parker Transcribed by: [email protected] Standard Tuning: EADGBe
I tried to tab this song just by watching the video on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXlSrfkNxPw) and the low quality made it hard to see or hear what the G-like chord really is but I gave it my best shot. E-Mail any corrections. PS, this is my first tab.
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:] CAm My baby don't mess around
Because she loves me so GAm And this I know for sure... CAm Uh, But does she really wanna
But can't stand to see me GAm Walk out the door... CAm Can't stand to fight the feelin' GAm Because the thought alone is killing me right now... CAm Thank god for mom and dad
For sticking two together GAm 'Cause we don't know how...
[Chorus:] CAm Hey... Ya... GC Hey Ya...
[Verse Two:] C You think you've got it Am Ohh, you think you've got it
But got it just don't get it GAm Till' there's nothing at all.. C We get together Am Oh, we get together GAm But seperate's always better when there's feelings involved CAm If what they say is "Nothing is forever" GAm Then what makes, Then what makes, Then what makes
Then what makes, then what makes, Love the exception CAm So why you, why you
Why you, why you, why you are we so in denial GAm When we know we're not happy heeeerrreeee...
[Chorus:] CAm Hey... Ya... GC Hey Ya...
[Bridge] CAm Alright now fellas GC Now what's cooler than bein' cool? Am I can't hear ya' now GC I say what's cooler than bein' cool?
Now alright (repeats multiple times, just play verse chords) CAmGAm Now ladies, yeah we're gonna bring it down in just a few seconds here CAm Don't make me bring it down for nothin' C I wanna see you on y'all's baddest behavior AmG Lend me some sugar AmC I am your neighbor
(Shake it, shake it like a Polaroid Picture (Multiple times+scratches and the first chord of every change)
