Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:Bb
Capo:no capo

Note: The Bb sections of the verses only have a simple bass line under them
that consists of alternating Bb and A once per measure. Also, the chorus is
sung as an overlapping canon - "There's" is on the same beat as the last
sylable of "hundred" and the next "twenty-six" begins on the same beat as 
"that".

Bb
I don't even know if I'm getting one
Bb
So I shook every box under the tree

I'm a good boy, their only son

Why would they deprive me?

This one's sweater and this one's socks
