Tuning: Standard (E A D G)

Very easy song. The drumming makes the song. This is how my band and I play it
and it sounds right to us. All you have to do is remain tight with the drummer
and you will sound great.

The majority of the song is this one riff. There are a few different
variationson the endings but you can figure them out no problem.
There is a three note ending after this riff and it is

This ending goes with the vocals so listen carefully to them.
