Lyrics:
One time a thing occurred to me
What's real and what's for sale
Blew a kiss and tried to take it home.
(CHORUS:
Isn't you, isn't me
Search for things that you can't see.
Goin't blind, out of reach
Somewhere in the Vasoline.)
Two times and it has rendered me
Punch drunk and without bail
Think I'd be safer all alone.
Flies in the vasoline we are
Sometimes it blows my mind
Keep getting stuck here all the time.
(Chorus)
(Bridge:
You'll see the look
And you'll see the lies.
You'll eat the lies
And you will...)
(solo)
Flies in the vasoline we are
Sometimes it blows my mind
Keep getting stuck here all the time.
(chorus)
That's "Vasoline" in a nutshell. If you need the solo, email me and
be REAL nice and I'll tab it for ya'.
Corrections/comments/augmentations welcome (by email only)
Good luck!

Oh yeah, and someone sent me a suggestion that makes quite a bit of sense.
Instead of playing that fucked up chord that I had in my original tab
(during the intro and bridge) try this:
E---0---
B---3---
G---3---
D---3---
A---0---
