Fellow musicians: I believe that everyone has the right to alter a cover song and play
how they like. But I also believe it to be helpful to others to post tabs/chords for
as close to the original version as possible. So, though I personally extend the ending
the song, and play it with a Capo on 2nd fret (and even sometimes no Capo when playing
groups with lower vocal ranges), I felt it would be most helpful to post the CD version
this song. And here it is:
