Verse 1: Just tap randomly during vocals
 \\\\\\"Oh, welcome to this world of fools
 Of pink champagne and swimming pools
 Well, all you have to lose is your virginity
 Perhaps we\\\\\\'ll have some fun tonight so stick around and take a bite of life
 We don\\\\\\'t need feebleness in this proximity\\\\\\"

I'm the author of the other Welcome to this World tab and it looks like you just copied and pasted most of my tab and added incorrect verse parts. And this song has never even been played live in its entirety. I would really appreciate it if you took this tab down.
