Tab submitted by: Digs - *
There are a few tabs of this song on the web but none
of them have the intro transcribed properly. Although the
intro is played on an accordian (I think) the tab below
sounds coorect on the guitar. You will have to finger
pick the intro to get it to sound * a bit tricky
to play but it adds a bit of class to the song when you play it.
The rhythm is easy to pick up if you listen to the song
but if you have any questions e-mail me *
Standard tuning.
