This is a fantastic song and very simple to play. I will step up here with a 10-minute
it sounds purdy good… for a quickie! Hehe
Standard Tuning, use heavy delay and set the timing right!
Opening and Verses: Listen to the song (close) for the rhythm.
(The verse is the same without the harmonics)

That’s about the whole song. The rhythm is a bit tricky, so just listen to the song and
will make sense.
That’s a simple as it gets.
Enjoy, and I hope it's close... it was a rush job!
Please let me know about corections. T.I.A.
