*********
There are some existing versions of this song that are close (with 5 stars?), but not quite
right — missing connecting parts at end of intro/verse and not providing vital notes for the
song's timing/rhythm. I did not base this on any tabs on this site. I had a version years ago
that I used and modified to learn it. Then when I looked on UG recently and was disappointed
that none were as good as my copy. So, I thought I'd post a complete/correct version.
As a bonus, I'm including chords which are really simple, and I think actually make a nice alt.
way to play this song. You can use open chords for anything not in parens. However, to get the
paren'ed chords to work I use the barre chords (for sliding from D to D# then to E in the
intro/chorus; and for bouncing between A and D in the verses). Enjoy!
