Song: Happy Bivouac Album: Happy Bivouac Artist: The Pillows Very catchy chord progressions which include a few half-step ups and downs and a major minor chord (I don't know how to explain this but you'll see). It sounds like they have 3 guitars (with 2 leads). To be sure, just listen to the song and you'll get the whole tab.

Translation: verse 1 Hey, how much farther is it? Not that it really matters Man, today too I can't catch up to who I want to be at this rate Chorus 1 Tomorrow, we go ashore Drenched, we tiptoe Turning to face the summit, a little Happy Bivouac verse 2 There are a lot of painful, unspeakable things Lately, I'm a laughingstock No matter how many times we say 'One more time!' We're just taking detours Chorus 2 I don't want to imitate someone's imitation Let's travel the way without a way Are we near the summit? A little Happy Bivouac Chorus 3 We asked the people around here and the answer we received? 'There is no summit.' Yes, Happy Bivouac, Yeah, Wooh!
