Metarie

	  		I can't seem to find any tabs for this excellent artist! this is one of the best songs 
of his amazing album 'lapalco' definatly recommended. 

The song is pretty easy to play acoustic, its just: 

     Bm7             D              A              E 
E|--2-----------|--2-----------|--0-----------|--0-----------| 
B|--3-----------|--3-----------|--2-----------|--0-----------| 
G|--2-----------|--2-----------|--2-----------|--1-----------| 
D|--4-----------|--0-----------|--2-----------|--2-----------| 
A|--2-----------|--X-----------|--0-----------|--2-----------| 
E|--2-----------|--X-----------|--X-----------|--0-----------| 

You can also play Bm instead of Bm7 if its easier. 

Theres also a bridge bit, but I havn't worked it out yet, its probably pretty easy. 

and the lyrics are: 

I Met a girl, introduced myself 
I asked her to go with me and no one else 
And she said: "I'd really like to see you everyday" 
"But I'm afraid of what my friends might say" 
"You need a bath and your clothes are wrong" 
"You're not my type I can tell we wouldn't get along" 
I just laughed what else could I do 
And her friend chimed in singin' get a clue 

Get a life - put it in your song 
There's something I've been meaning to say to you 

I'd had enough couldn't take it anymore 
So I turned and I ran straight for the door 
Bought some mags on my way home 
For later on ya know when I'm all alone 
Bottle of wine and some cigarettes 
Watch TV and go to bed 
I know a guy lives in Los Angeles 
Sometimes his life there makes me so jealous 

Get a life - put it in your song 
There's something I've been meaning to say to you 

I'd like to move out of this place 
To change my name and get a new face 
Sleep all day stay up all night 
And everybody I meet thinks I'm alright 
Pat my back say I like your song
