Readymade is a great song to get up and go to.  It's got a steady 
beat and a wicked bassline.  Even better, it's only got a few main 
parts that repeat (granted there are subtle changes in the parts, 
but thats where you get to shine).  So I'll go ahead and break this 
into the three main parts, listen to the song and you'll fit it 
all together no trouble.

Main Verse kicks it off with a bang.  The little build up at the 
end has a few variations, so go ahead and experiment.

G----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
D--------5-------|--------5-------|--------5-------|--------------5-|
A5-7-7-5---7-5-7-|5-7-7-5---7-5-7-|5-7-7-5---7-5-7-|--------5-6-7---|
E----------------|----------------|----------------|4-5-6-7---------| 

Now the chorus in this song will actually take a little more effort 
to find the placement of certain notes, but again, if you have 
the song handy it shouldnt take too long at all.  Here is the chorus 
(and dont forget to add your own spice)

G|----------------|-----------------|----------------|----------------|
D|----------------|-----------------|----------------|----------------|
A|----------------|-------------5-7-|----------------|------------5-7-|
E|3-------3---3-3-|--3-3-----5-7----|5-------5---5-5-|--5-5-----7-----|

A|7---7---5-7-----|----5-7---------|7---7---5-7-----|----5-7---------10|
E|------7---------|--7-------7-5-3-|------7---------|--7---------------|

Then coming up is the rap breakdown.  Three quick sustained notes, 
followed by an empty space for a few bars.  Those notes are

G|---------------|---------------|
D|---------------|---------------|
A|-5---4-----2---|---------------|  
E|---------------|--5-----4----2-|



Thats it! That's all there is.  So take the time to listen to the 
song, fit it all together and you'll be playing like a pro in no 
time. best of luck!
