TUNING: E Standard. Use D Standard if you want that sweet fretted low E chord.
TEMPO: 75.5 Bpm

Song has no intro, but I took the artistic licence to create one :)

USE A PICK!

These chords are played on an acoustic for the first verse only:
A Major 577655
F# Major 244322

This song has a pretty slow tempo at ~75.5, so remember to take your time and remember to listen
to the song to get the rhythm. :)

Verse 1
                A                   F#    
I can't believe it, I just don't understand
          Bm                                E
you're wearing a Tupac t-shirt but you're talking like a Ku Klux Klan
                      A                       F#
man, when will you get it? you used to be a friend of mine,
      Bm                             E
but now I know in time you'll be panhandling down on Pine,


Chorus
            A
you dirty sponge, dirty sponge
    F#                                      Bm 
soak up everything you can from everyone,
     D              E         D              E                         A x2
wearing out your welcome, soon you'll have no one you're no fun, you dirty sponge


Verse 2

   A                             F#
think that every hot lady has got it bad for you
   Bm                            E
obviously, you haven't seen all the dried puke on your shoe
    A                                     F#
bumming every dollar, bottle, sofas and half smoked cigarettes
     Bm                                   E
and pulling pubes out your underwear or a free meal you get


Verse 3 
                A                    F#
I can't believe it, I just don't understand

you're wearing your joe-mamma t-shirt but you're talking like a Ku Klux Klan
                      A                       F#
man, when will you get it? you used to be a friend of mine,
       Bm                            E
but now I know in time you'll be panhandling down on Pine


Chorus
            A
you dirty sponge, dirty sponge
    F#                                      Bm 
soak up everything you can from everyone,
     D              E         D              E                         A x2
wearing out your welcome, soon you'll have no one you're no fun, you dirty sponge
