Americana (1998)
Why Don't You Get A Job

This is a VERY easy song...It has a very similar pattern
throughout the chorus and verse, and the break is nothing
special either...enjoy!

Well, that's it! During the chorus, break, and
ending, play the chords in the "ska upstroke" (just
hit the highest 4 strings). It's not too hard.
