>Just the chords with the lyrics are at the bottom of the page if you are
not too keen on doing all the base note plucking.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
:Performance notes:
>The strumming rhythm is difficult to put in a tab, so you really need to
listen to the song. Have tried to indicate the basic rhythm when it comes
to the chords but mostly just for reference against the bass note runs.
>The song is quite difficult when it comes to the thumb's plucking action.
However, the left hand fingering is simple as it is mostly just holding
chords.
>You won't be able to play this song well with a plectrum...
use the finger-picking techinique. Elliott used to have a sort of hybrid
style of strumming and picking, just keep that in mind when learning
song.
