Original transcription by nwflattop, revised by Suuuupaadave.  For the intro, use your index finger to mute the A string when you're strumming the D/F# and do the little half step bend to get the sound JoCo is getting out of this chord.  The prechorus riff happens every time right before the chorus during the last two beats of the B7 chorus

* [[Molly]] plays the fourth line in the chorus "You might be Tom Cruise Crazy too" with a Cdim(7) instead of a G# at the end. On the guitar this might be best accomplished by using barre B7 with your ring finger and pinky (x24242) and then adding the C with the middle finger to make Cdim7 (x34242).

The prechorus riff happens every time right before the chorus during the last two beats of the B7 chorus

Bass tabs by suuuupaadave:
"Here's the bass tab to the live performance of Tom Cruise Crazy, based off the live performance on Youtube with Kristen (Shirts, on ukulele). I apologize again to anyone who has trouble with reading the rhythms as I'm not very good at making tablature yet, but the notes are correct nonetheless. I've included the chord symbols for anyone who wants to have someone accompany you on their instrument of choice while you play."

Alternate voicings[edit]

  • Molly plays the fourth line in the chorus "You might be Tom Cruise Crazy too" with a Cdim(7) instead of a G# at the end. On the guitar this might be best accomplished by using barre B7 with your ring finger and pinky (x24242) and then adding the C with the middle finger to make Cdim7 (x34242).
