This is an arrangement for solo acoustic that tries to mimic the instrumental parts in
the song. I just did this by ear.
I recorded this here: (YOUTUBE) http://bit.ly/lOZ568 I used capo 2 on the recording, so
it's in A instead of G, as the tab is.
Alternate up-down picking for these, pretty simple.
