This is the 98% correct version according to the two radio show videos I watched on
YouTube. So I guess this is the "acoustic" version, but I don't see why it wouldn't work for
electric as well.
This is a basic overview of the whole song, so not everything is in order and perfectly
how it should be. Hope this helps everybody!
*Tune 1/2 step down w/ capo on 2nd
OR
*You can play in Standard with capo on 1st...just transpose
All notes are relative to CAPO!!
* = Check Dexter's strumming - it follows the main melody.

Verse:
Dexter: D, C, G
Noodles: D, C, G
Listen to the way Noodles plays his D - he does some stuff with the e string. Also I
believe he plays the C cord like this instead:
e---
B-3-
G-0-
D-0-
A-3-
E---
