Seeing as I only have my acoustic at the moment and I wanted to play this song, I
arranged it to be a little more acoustic-friendly!
On the bridge, others may have a slightly different strumming pattern, but that's
just how I play it.
If you have any problems, corrections, or ideas on how to make it better, e-mail
