I wanted to learn to play this as a joke, but all the tabs/chord sheets I found were
bad. Like, you all should be ashamed. So I took 20 minutes to tab it out so you can play
right. I suspect the guitar parts were actually recorded with a guitar tuned a 1/2 step
but this is for standard tuning. You won't notice any difference.

Verse (play riff, but if you wanna play the full chords, here they are)
I hopped off the plane at LAX
with a dream and my cardigan
welcome to the land of fame excess,
am I gonna fit in?
Jumped in the cab, Here I am for the first time
Look to the right and I see the Hollywood sign
This is all so crazy
Everybody seems so famous
My tummys turnin and I'm feelin kinda home sick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous,
That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
(no chord)
and a Jay Z song was on
and the Jay Z song was on
and the Jay Z song was on
CHORUS (same chords as the verse, kiddies...)
So I put my hands up
They’re playing my song,
And the butterflys fly away
Noddin’ my head like yea
Movin my hips like yea
I got my hands up,
They’re playin my song
I know im gonna be ok
Yeaaaa, It's a party in the USA
Yeaaaa, It's a party in the USA
VERSE 2 - same as first
CHORUS 2 - same as first
BRIDGE
Feel like hoppin' on a flight (on a flight)
Back to my hometown tonight (town tonight)
Something stops me everytime (everytime)
The DJ plays my song and I feel alright
CHORUS 3 and 4 - same as before
