Pretty simple song, actually. Some find it difficult, or confusing.
But, it really isn't all that bad. You just need to find the right
strumming pattern for the song as well as when to play things...It
should be simple if you have the song downloaded or the cd, so you
can listen to it at the same time...or beforehand to understand it.

-5*rr--|-0-7r--7-5r--5-0r--0r-| Repeat this 2nd half 3x, and then play
-5*rr--|-0-7r--7-5r--5-0r--0r-| it a 4th time, only strum the chords that

Verse:
(strum these chords at a pretty nice/moderate pace..each chord is listed
quite a bit but it's just an estimate, you MUST listen to the song to get
the pattern.)

You'll never really get the full effect out of any of my songs
unless you actually hear it. That's basically the same way
with almost any song. But this song is the one you'll probably
need to hear the most to retrieve the full effect. Play around
with it, and have fun. If you have questions or comments, please
email me at: slightlydisabled@aol.com or leave a message on my
guestbook or messageboard at www.geocities.com/tjfulfer/
If you need the mp3..or cd..contact me!!!!
