This tab isn't of the entire song. Specifically I left out the "They love me at the
they adore me at the Ritz" because it's somewhat un—melodic and I couldn't really figure it out.
I wrote these tabs with timing in mind. I put the chords over the word it should be played on.
In some cases it's over the part of the word it should be played. example; F starts on
'lancey' in 'Delancey'.
Here are the chords I use:

F 1—3—3—2—1—1—|
