Dream Life Of Rand McNally by Jason Mraz Tabbed by Allyrw55
This is my 1st tab so comments and changes welcome. I love this song with funny lyrics. Some of the YouTube Versions are in Drop D (Capo2) and REALLY hard to play coz my hand big enough so I tabbed a simpler version... I think it sounds fine but I'm not quite sure about the chorus so feel free to play with it....
Enjoy! - Remember this is not how Jason plays it!!

LYRICS: DREAMLIFE OF RAND MCNALLY on Live & Acoustic
Who is he, Mr. Rand Mcnally? I had I dream that mystery was me now who else could I be? I dreamed I went to England and met the spice girls there for tea They lost one more they're down from four to my favorite number three But they're still quite spicy, as the orange flavor And oh so nice to do me the favor and lick my icing under the table now
[CHORUS] But I gotta leave town Mr. Nally, just as scary spice was about to go down on me And don't ask how Mr. Nally and give up the towel Mr. Nally and run
I dreamed I went to Singapore got bored and robbed a liquor store What for? Nobody knows I only took a couple of Marlboros Oh but that was all they needed and the criminal was soon defeated And now in jail I'm waiting for my punishment of caining
[CHORUS] So I gotta think fast Mr Nally watch your ass, wake up and laugh and run Better Mr Mun, Mr Rand, Mr Mac, Mr Nally Mr Run, Mr Man, you got the knack for the rally and run
I had a chance to visit the north pole but it was way too cold to smoke Oh my nose was freezing I should could use some coughing and wheezing So I tried it anyway and the place went up in flames How was I suppose to know you could catch fire to the snow
[CHORUS] Oh lord way to go Mr Nally, way to go, now you're melting the poles Mr Nally so run
I jumped ship in NYC and headed south to Washington DC Didn't think I'd go there but played some shows there fancy lucky me But it is really slow there with our new president on TV Too many politicians and liberal Christians they're all set out for me
[CHORUS] Singing cast your vote Mr Nally, castrate your vote, oh say no you don't, Mr Nally just run
I thumbed a ride across the prairie, I got hitched in Vegas, yep, I got married To a lady who loved me she thought it's be funny to gamble all my money And I got stranded without my clothes, a little bit of fear and loathing heart attack I got chased by the rat pack once in a flashback.
[CHORUS] Singing Viva Las Vegas Sing it with me c'mon now Singin Viva Las Vegas
SCAT - [CHORUS chords]
JavaJoes/Live&Acoustic versions have 1st verse of 'The Remedy (I Won't Worry)' here are F# Bb E [Repeat] - REMEMBER THE TUNE IS DIFFERENT TO THE ORIGINAL so listen to get how Mraz adjusts it to if you want to include it (I used the unclecrispy version on YouTube)
I settled down in San Diego and smoked a joint with Java Joe And with a grin he took me in spilling coffee on his chin And I played my shows there and I met my bitches and hoes there And with my holy-ho they kindly let me shake my tail theree There's one more thing before I go there's never been any place like this home For once in a lifetime maybe I'd be foolish not to stay
[CHORUS] Oh I got to get away Mr. Nally say what can I say Mr. Nally.. run away Mr. Nally
I say-say-ah Ce Ce Ce laaa la la la vie (scatting) Ce Ce Ce la lalalala vie (scatting) Oh Ce la vie.
