"Having An Average Weekend"
(Brian Connelly/Reid Diamond/Don Pyle)
From the album Savvy Show Stoppers
Tabbed by Ted James of The Nematoads
This is pretty much it. I know that there is a version on Nevada, but it's very much incomplete. And part of it is wrong. This is the way that I play it. The song is pretty simple.
This came from the CD version. However, on the CD, they play verses 1, 2, and 3 three times. To me, that gets a bit redundant. My band usually plays it twice.
