THE SONG STARTS WITH A FEW FEEDBACKS AND THE DRUM LINE, AND THE THIS
D//G//D//G
both guitars don't have much of a structure, just play around with the chords, or also
one guitar strums, the other one may play an arpeggio
then the guitars stop and the bass line keep playin for the first two lines in the verse

is easy and delightful to play it. have fun. any comments mail me at fungus_kingdom@hotmail.com
