tabbed by José Pedro Lopes ( filmesdoanexo at gmail dot com for any tab related issue )
we've got three riffs for this beautiful song, perfect for the summer.
my tab is not too perfect - but it does give you a great start. this song works better
you play to quickly like Josh so train first playing it and only later to sing it along.
riff1
this is the intro and verses. play this quickly, but it's not too difficult. the "333"
the end of the riff, listen closely to do your version of the transition.
