[BuiltToSpill10]

Wow. I've known about this vid for like 3 years, and I've just barley came to the realization that he took the riff from Jack Black's, "computer man" song. Still, This penguin song is amazing and I always find myself coming back to it!

[hypnotikd23]

Frank my man, there's over 3/4 of a million people that have watched this video, and i'm sure over half of them have asked for chords n tabs too my man, Come on hook it up, and perhaps even a video lesson on how to play it hahaha ....no but really

Who agrees????!

[hypnotikd23]

I also understand you're a busy man, especially with your music and the fact that you too have a personal life. A tutorial on how to play this if you ever have some spare time would make you an even better man :) haha

[PFarren]

Chords for this song: Verse - Am(barr @ 5th fret), E(barr @ 7th), F, Am(regular open), E(open)

Chorus - Dm(barr @ 5th), Am(barr @ 5th), C(barr @ 3rd), B(barr @ 2nd), Bb(barr @ 1st) Watch timing of chord change from Dm to C in chorus i.e after 3rd time playing Dm go to C for 1 strum, B for 1 strum, Bb for 1 srtum - then back to verse

For the flip/flop bit in verse at the Am, E chords, you hammer on D string (0h1h2) then pick Am, then hammer A string (0h1h2) then pick E chord. Enjoy. Great tune

[aaf127]

great song ive tried to play it but i cant do it
