You're in the back seat and you say to yourself
Okay it doesn't matter anyway
It's weeds pulling weeds and your blaming yourself
Okay we're all indifferent in our own ways
You're in trouble now and you say to yourself
Okay my baby clean conscience anyways
You're in the back seat and you say to yourself
Okay it doesn't matter anyway
It's weeds pulling weeds and you're blaming yourself
Okay we're all indifferent in are own ways
You're in trouble now and you say to yourself
Okay my baby clean conscience anyways
Four fingered fisherman alright
Finger four fisherman so uptight
Hello you're getting on no one
You're both right
Four fingered fisherman all night long
Four fingered fisherman so uptight though
So uptight hello

Tuning: Standard
This has at least two guitars going at the same time. I've written part of it so that it can be

Go nuts at the end by strumming really fast (listen to the song for the rhythm) and don't be
afraid to strum all the strings to get that signature
Isaac-Brock-it-sounds-like-I-don't-know-how-to-play-but-really-I'm-doing-it-on-purpose sound.

You're in the back seat and you say to yourself
Okay it doesn't matter anyway
It's weeds pulling weeds and your blaming yourself
Okay we're all indifferent in our own ways
You're in trouble now and you say to yourself
Okay my baby clean conscience anyways
You're in the back seat and you say to yourself
Okay it doesn't matter anyway
It's weeds pulling weeds and you're blaming yourself
Okay we're all indifferent in are own ways
You're in trouble now and you say to yourself
Okay my baby clean conscience anyways
Four fingered fisherman alright
Finger four fisherman so uptight
Hello you're getting on no one
You're both right
Four fingered fisherman all night long
Four fingered fisherman so uptight though
So uptight hello
