I've found this an easy one to play and sing along with (with my limited vocal range, my wife says this should be my signature song). The kids think it's hilarious.
You want to play with a swing feel. I count out one-two-and-three-and-four-and-one-two-and-three-and-four, changing chords (and hitting just the bass note) on the first beat of each measure.
As I am as rhythmically challenged as I am vocally challenged, this counting may be wrong, but it works for me. Have fun

Take a tip from me, that ain't no rose

Roll up the window and hold your nose

You don't have to look and you don't have to see

You can feel it in your olfactory

Well you got your dead cat and you got your dead dog

On a moonlit night you got your dead toad frog

You got your dead rabbit and your dead raccoon

Aw, the blood and the guts are gonna make you swoon

Blame it on the lies that killed us, blame it on the truth that ran us down.
Thanks for the tab, Slydog.
That's my favorite Loudon Wainwright III song. OK, I'll confess; it's the ONLY LW3 song I know... :shock:
It *is* a fun little ditty.
In walking, just walk. In sitting, just sit. Above all, don't wobble.

You should look for Bicentenial from the album T Shirt I saw him do it on an old SNL repeat.
Chuck Norris invented Kentucky Fried Chicken's famous secret recipe, with eleven herbs and spices. But nobody ever mentions the twelfth ingredient: Fear!
