This is my version of the Johnny's guitars arrangments.
Please, notice that the song should be played with a capo on the 2nd fret.
Another thing: tabs doesn't allow us to understand well the rhythm of the accompanyment,
so any questions or doubts, please, e-mail-me: eluedy@ufba.br, or emarques@svn.com.br
