Nice ska sounding tune by the Peppers!

Standard tuning (EADGBE)

Chords used
Bm (224432)
G (355433)
A (577655)
F# (244322)
D (557775)

Intro
Bm, G, A, F#

There are actually two guitars playing, ad I'm not quite sure
if the "offbeat-guitar" plays the chords as they're tabbed,
but the other one does.

Have Phun!

Verse: (same chords every verse)
=======

Bm
I've got myself
G A
In a masochistic hold
F#
Why don't you let go
Bm
Shake it off
G A
Just to redirect my flow
F#
Come on let's go
Bm
Sit up straight
G
I'm on a double date
A
I've got to find my way
F#
Into the light, heavy, middle weight
Bm G
We don't stop rock around the clock
A
Motor mouthing off
F#
In front of every other road block

Pre Chorus: (same chords every Pre Chorus)
===========
G
Come again and tell me
F#
What you're going thru
G
Like a girl who only knew
F#
Her child was due

Chorus: (same chords every Chorus)
==========
Bm D
Memories of everything
A G
Of lemon trees on mercury
Bm D
Come to me with remedies
A G
From five or six of seven seas
Bm D A
You always took me with a smile
G
When I was down
Bm D
Memories of everything
A F#
That blew thru


Verse:
=======

Looking up into
A reverse vertigo
What an undertow
Give it up
Another stubborn scorpio
Come on, let's go

Sit up straight
I'm on a double date
I've got to find my way
Into the light, heavy, middle weight
We don't stop rock around the clock
Motor mouthing off
In front of every other road block

Pre Chorus:
==========

Come again and tell me
What you're going thru
Like a girl who only knew
Her child was due
To the moon she gave
Another good review
Turn around and look at me
It's really really you

Chorus
=======

Middle Part: Same as intro

Verse:
======

Sit up straight.....

Chorus
=======
This tab (or chord file) should be pretty much correct,
but any suggestions, corrections and questions are welcome!
