NOTES:
This has a very Velvet Underground feel to it...
(No surprises there, I suppose.) Timing is 4/4.
Play Em with a G bass note on the third beat. 
This is played throughout the entire song.
The lead-guitar is just noodling around in Em. 


INTRO:
Chords:
Em   022000 or 079987
Em/G 322000 or 0 10 9987

[play: | Em |] and repeat


VERSE:
Well, some people try to pick up girls and get called assholes
This never happened to Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare and
So Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole


VERSE:
Well, the girls would turn the colour of the avacado
when he would drive down their street in his El Dorado
He could walk down you street
And girls could not resist his stare
Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole,
Not like you

Alright!


VERSE:
Well, he was only five foot three
But girls could not resist his stare
Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole,
Not in New York...


[Instrumental in Em]


VERSE:
Oh, well, be not schmuck, be not obnoxious,
Be not bellbottom bummer or asshole
Remember the story of Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare
Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole


Alright, this is it...


VERSE:
Well, some people try to pick up girls
And they get called an asshole
This never happened to Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare and so
Pablo Picasso was never called...


[Instrumental to fade]
