These chords are used in the intro, the verses, and the bridge.
This tablature would not have come about without the help of Jeff
Elkins <jeff>. He transcribed the chord-version
with a capo at the 4th fret. He distinguishes 3 guitars.
I also would like to thank Evan C. Parker <ecpark> for his
initial transcription of this song, just like Shawn Maschino
<smachno> and Maarten Klaassen <mok>.
My tab is for 1 guitar only. For the other guitar parts, look at
Jeffs tab!
In verse 2, a clean guitar plays the tab, a clean guitar strums the
chords, and a semi-distorted guitar plays a few riffs. I have
incorporated those riffs in the tab, in such away that one guitar can
play both the tab and the riffs.

Mr. Play It Safe, was afraid to fly.
He packed his suitcase, and kissed his kids goodbye.
He waited his whole damn life, just to take that flight.
And as the plane crashed down, he thought \"well isnt this nice..\"
And isnt it ironic.... dont you think?
