well sure yes, imagine how long lasted their experience and how long does the song last... and also "we are ugly but we have the music" is to be taken with a pinch of salt, very honest and beautiful ;-)

throw a capo on the second fret. Then play C,G,F and Am chords in various orders depending on the part of the song. I suspect there are better transcriptions out there in internetland.
