Here's "A" from BNL's second album Maybe You Should Drive.
I hope it's close enough for you.

A - Barenaked Ladies
intro (hammer on) A D(slid up to 5th) D (slid to 4th)
A (hammer on) E  A  E  A  E  G  D


A          E                    A                     E
A is for angry which is what you are at me
A          E                    G                  D
A is for adult which is what I'll never be
A           E                    A               E
A is for applesauce, my favourite meal
A            E                   G                       D
A is for Adam which is how I sometimes feel
                      G                 D
     like I'm the only man on Earth
                   E
     and I've forgotten what that's worth

A is for Arthur he's a lovable drunk
AM&Azing like Thelonius Monk
A is for argument, A is for apparent
A is for antagonism that's not even there
     it's just you begging for affection
     or something I won't even mention

CHORUS
           D            D(up to 4th fret)A
And I don't even know why you keep on trying
           D           D(up to 4th)  A
Like I don't even know why I keep on lying
                D             Fm          E                   A
There are millions of people in worlds of their own
D                        A          E
And two of them can't let go.

A is for algebra, I learned it in school
A is what Fonzie said 'cause he was very cool
A is for adversary, A is for alection
A is arousal you are giving me an erection
     c'mon I'm trying to show affection
     for longer than a half an hour.

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Gm  Dm  Cm
Gm	         Dm
Met a woman I used to know
Cm
Long before you, long ago.
Fm                  C#m
All I could say, after hello
Bm		E
Was "are you still single?"

A is for attitude I can't help but wield
A is for arrogance, emotional shield
A is for acting, A is for abhorrently
A is for asshole which is what I am how rude of me
     I owe you an apology
     I'm sorry.

CHORUS
