I don't remember the original Weezer version , but i liked your version very much , good passion in the voice and the playing , and for a sick guy you did very good :)

Little Thing , that was great , at 1:26 it sounds like you fall a little out of key for like 0.5 secs , but you make up for it :) Great tune , i enjoyed listening to it for sure :)

this is what i used. not to sure about the picked part, i think theres more to it.

tunned down half a step

Verse 1:
G Em C
Yesterday I went outside
D? G
With my Mother's Mason jar
Em C *
Caught a lovely butterfly
G Em C
When I woke up today
D? G
Looked in on my fairy pet
Em C *
She had withered all away
D7
No more sighing in her breast

Chorus:
G
I'm sorry for what I did
Em C
I did what my body told me to
D G
I didn't mean to do you harm
G7 C D
Every time I pin down what I think I want
G
It slips away
Em C5
And oh it slips away
Verse 2:
G Em C
Smell you on my hands for days
D? G
Couldn't wash away the scent
Em C *
I'm a dog and you're a bitch
G Em C
I guess you're as real as me
D? G
Maybe I can live with that
Em C *
Baby I need fantasy
D7
Life of chasing butterfly

Chorus

Verse 3:
G Em C
I told you that I'd return
D? G
When the robin builds his nest
Em C *
But I ain't never comin' back

End part:
G
I'm sorry
Em
I'm sorry
C5 G
I'm sorry.


That's about it, except for that little ditty where the stars are.
It goes something like this:

e-0-----2-----------:
B----3--1--0-----0--:
G-------2-----2-----:
D-------0-----------:

the star is the picked part. and the D? is the

Oh, well thats kinda stupid, why have users submit tabs to your songs to your site? Just put yours up if your gonna take the time to do a tab section. Anyway, thanks monkeyman.
