HAPPY STREET - Diesel Boy
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------

By:Evan Hulka <hulka@mailmasher.com>

Intro: G# B C# G# B C# D# C# B G# D# C# B G#

then kinda ska-ish G# C C# D#

G# C C# D# C#
I think I'll go for a walk outside the sun is out it's a beautiful day
G# C C# D# C#
I love to feel the wind in my hair and the sun on my face
G# C C# D# C#
Cheap thrills come easy these days at least that's what I'm told
G# C C# D# C#
Well it sure beats watching T.V. and just sitting around growing old


F C F C
Can't help but smile when I'm on Happy Street
F C D#
Big rows of houses and concrete

(hardcore, same chords as other verse)
I think I'll go outside for a walk, it's a nice day, the sun is shining
The birds chirp and the grass grows green,
the clouds above me have a silver lining
I think I'll take a nap underneath my favorite tree
Sometimes it's the simple things in life that make me happy

F C F C
Can't help but smile when I'm on Happy Street
F C D#
Big rows of houses and concrete
G# D# G# D#
Maybe you care, maybe you don't
F D# C#
Just don't think too much
G# D# G# D#
Maybe you care, maybe you don't
F D# C#
Just don't think too much

repeat ska-ish part, then repeat hardcore intro part, then ska-ish part again

(ska)
I think I'll sleep here all day until the sun goes down tonight
So if you pass me on the street don't wake me up, I'm alright
I wonder if someone out there somewhere shares with me today
The joys of Happy Street and feeling like a king

chorus - ska until "concrete" then switches to hardcore... repeat "maybe you
care", then repeat hardcore-ish intro riff really fast, then end.

F C A#
It's like something you can't explain
It's like making love in the rain
It's like a stranger who catches your eye
It's like telling the perfect lie
(power chords again)
It's like a sunset walk on the beach
It's like a lecture you just can't teach
It's like finally finding your fate
It's like seeing the girl you hate

Do whatever you wanna do... repeat "not feeling like I'm free" 3x

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------

By:Evan Hulka <hulka@mailmasher.com>

Intro: C F C G C A G

C F C G C A G
Got a friend who's small in size, a fucked up Afro is his only disguise
C F C G C A G
Him & Jason they play the guitar, if they could find a drummer they'd go far
A F G A G
Now everybody won't you sing along 'cuz this is Andy's song

C G
He's short and stoned and he's never on time
A F G
He ain't been laid since 1989
C G
He's got a lisp and lots of hair
A F G
His teeth fell out and he don't even care

C C C B C

(repeat "got a friend" chord pattern)
He works at Gravenstone's, he'll sell you a bong
He's pretty cool so don't get us wrong
His brother's in a band, knows Ian MacKaye
They signed to Dischord, go see 'em someday

Now everybody...

(repeat "he's short and stoned" chord pattern)
Dropped out of college went to work for himself
An idea and a sticker press came a buttload of wealth
The stickers sold with a whole lot of luck
I'm sure you've seen 'em they say Mean People Suck


(faster, but same chords)
We've got a friend who's small in size
A fucked up Afro is his only disguise
He sold the phrases of a generation
So we wrote this song in admiration
(repeat "now everybody" part, but instrumental)

(still fast)
Dropped out of college... (repeat that part)
repeat the "mean people suck" part 3x
(mean people... mean people... mean people suck!) then end it!
(whew!)

G D G C G D C G D G C G D C
Uptight closed mind so naive, hooligan fooled again no self esteem

(same chords)
We don't want to play here 'cuz the owner is a real big jerk
That's not a smile on my face asshole it's a smirk
We don't want your hostile attitude 'cuz to you we've got nothing to prove
So we dedicate the second verse to you
So to your cafe and your employees too we dedicate a big fuck you
Uptight closed mind...

(there is more of this solo but I am not proficient or patient enough to tab
it.. sorry guys)

after the solo (or now, it doesn't really matter arrangement-wise) go back to
that intro riff

(same old chords)
This final one's for you old boy, you're still a loser in the end
Why don't you go hang out with your friends?
And how bout thinking for yourself, you might find that there's much to be
learned
You've been playing with fire now it's time to get burned
So take your attitude and your mentality and get the fuck away from me
Uptight closed mind... (repeat 2x)

Outro: C-B-A G

He's down to two or three times every other day
He's late for practice again, he must be at her place
She must be really nice or really fucking crazy

repeat chorus
repeat riff with Blah!s in it
repeat "She looks..." part (instrumental)
