Intro dialogue:
I got a call from my old writing partner.. Jeff... and you know..
we were kinda drinkin talkin to each other on the phone and
he goes “Ya know I betcha that I can name a subject that you
can’t write a song about.” I said “Alright fucker, let's hear
it, what da ya got?” And he goes “ How ‘bout, uh, a homeless
guy.” And I said “easy”. And he said “who is French…” LAUGHTER
Let’s give it a shot.. If this doesn’t go over I owe him a
lot of money.

FYI: I enjoyed this song so much that I wanted to
figure it out and play it for my friends an fam.
This is my first-ever post online of a tab/chord.
I use this site often especially for Lynch chords
so I felt that it would be right to give back.
