I couldnt find a proper comprehensive and correct version
of this tab, so I thought I'd make one. Great song,
and fairly easy to play. Enjoy.

D|--------2-------2-------2-------2---|
A|----2-------------------------------|

1 2 3 4

e|----------------------------0-------|
B|----0-------0-------0-------0-------|
G|----1-------1-------1-----------1---|
D|--------2-------2-------2-----------|
A|------------------------------------|
E|----0-------------------------------|


And so on...


Tim Minchin - Not Perfect


A
This is my Earth

E
And I live in it

D
It's one third dirt

Dm
And two thirds water

A
And it rotates and revolves through space

A7
At rather an impressive pace

D Dm A
And never even messes up my hair

F#m sus4 F#m
And here's the really weird thing

B sus4 B
The force created by its spin

D A E
Is the force that stops the chaos flooding in

F#m sus4 F#m
This is my Earth

D6 D
And it's fine

E C# F#m F#m/Bflat
It's where I spend the vast majority of my time

Bm D
It's not perfect

A A/E
But it's mine

Bm D (D - D - D - A - D - a8)
It's not perfect
