I'm going to tab the song for guitar 1 as though the capoed third fret was the
guitar's open tuning. Guitar 2 is tabbed in standard tuning.

Verse 1:
Guitar 1 with a down strum on each chord only.
G Gsus4 Gsus4 G Bsus4 |---------Note---------
She's a good girl lo----ves her mama, | Commas, full-stops
G Gsus4 Gsus4 G Bsus4 |and exclamation marks
Loves Jesus and Amer -- ica too. |in the lyrics denote
G Gsus4 Gsus4 G Bsus4 |the separation between
She's a good girl cra zy 'bout Elvis, |two bars of the music.
G Gsus4 Gsus4 G Bsus4 |She loves horses and her boy - friend too. |
Verse 2:
Guitar 1 continues with single down strum, drums and bass come in.
Bass line:
B|o----1----1-0--3-o|-----This same riff is repeated throughout------|
B|o-1--------------o|-----most of the song and doesn't change.-------|
Lyrics:
An' it's a long day livin' in Reseda,
There's a freeway runnin' through the yard,
An' I'm a bad boy 'cause I don't even miss her,
I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart.
Chorus:
Guitar 1 strums the chords in a different pattern but with exactly
the same timing and progression.
G Gsus4 Gsus4 G Bsus4Now I'm free!
G Gsus4 Gsus4 G Bsus4I'm free fallin'!
G Gsus4 Gsus4 G Bsus4Yeah I'm free!
G Gsus4 Gsus4 G Bsus4I'm free fallin'!
Verse 3:
And all the vampires walking through the valley,
Move west down Ventura Boulevard,
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows,
And the good girls are at home with broken hearts.
Chorus:
G Gsus4 Gsus4 G Bsus4Now I'm free!
G Gsus4 Gsus4 G Bsus4I'm free fallin'!
G Gsus4 Gsus4 G Bsus4Yeah I'm free!
G Gsus4 Gsus4 G Bsus4I'm free fallin'!

The song finishes fading here. That's it! I hope it's not too messy and you can
understand how all those choruses go.
