Chord/Tab song: Oxford Comma

by Vampire Weekend

There isn't any guitar in the verse or pre-chorus, so you either stand around for ages
sing instead.
To get the rhythm for the solo right just listen to the song n u'll get it.
During the Chorus strum power chords over the top. Tabbing towards the end btw.

Lyrics/Chords

Verse:
[G]Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?
[D]I've seen those English dramas [G]too, They'r[D]e cruel
[G]So if there's any other way [D]To spell the word
It's fine with [G]me, with [D]me

Pre-Chorus:
[C]Why would you speak to [D]me that way
[G]Especially when I [D]always said that I
[C]Haven't got the [D]words for you
[G]All your diction [D]dripping with disdain
[C]Through the pain I [D]always tell the truth

Verse:
[G]Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?
[D]I climbed to Dharamsala [G]too [D]I did
[G]I met the highest lama
[D]His accent sounded fine [G]to me, [D]to me

Pre-Chorus:
[C]Check your handbook [D]It's no trick
[G]Take the chapstick [D]Put it on your lips
[C]Crack a smile [D]Adjust my tie
[G]Know your boyfriend, [D]unlike other guys

Chorus:
[C]Why would you lie about [D]how much coal you have?
[G]Why would you lie about [Am]something dumb like that?
[C]Why would you lie about [D]anything at all?
[G]First the window, [Am]then it's to the wall
[C]Lil' Jon, he [D]always tells the [G]truth
