Performance notes:
The above is my personal interpretation of this fairly straightforward song.
Some of the notes on the low E string may be fretted by using the thumb of
the left hand over the top of the neck. Also, the transition from the verse
to the chorus features a quarter note triplet (3 equally spaced notes in the
space of two beats); quarter note triplets have been annotated by placing a
'T' above the tablature staff. Enjoy! :o)
