== INTRODUCTORY NOTES                                            ==
===================================================================

The song is slightly off concert pitch. The existing recording of 
this is fairly crappy, and it's really tough to hear everything 
properly. I've given it my best shot with this two-guitar 
arrangement. One is capoed and strummed lively. The other is tuned
normally and adds the deep end on the chorus and bridge sections 
(and little bits of color on the verses). In the version I 
recorded, I also added a third guitar (basically doubling Guitar 1,
only capoed at the 7th fret). I have not included the fingerings 
for that here.

In the Bridge section, the F* chords are strummed rapidly up and 
down in quick stacatto succession (5 strums). Let the Asus2 chord 
ring out while pedaling the lower notes.
