A couple of versions of this are floating around but I haven't seen any that I
think are right - so here's mine. I got this from watching some footage of them
playing it live acoustically - with my acoustic in hand and pausing the picture.
I also play this acoustically in my band and it sounds bang on - so in my
opinion - this is it. Please note that no timing or strumming patterns are
implied here. Anyone who is half way proficient on the guitar should be able
to get that from listening to the CD.
