Me and a couple of friends use to play this song a little while back.
I figured out all of the parts, and I'm pretty sure they are right. It's
a fun song to play, and it's not that difficult. If you have any comments
or corrections, you can e-mail me.
***Capo 1st Fret on all guitars (Capo is shown as being the nut)

The beginning is with only an acoustic. The stumming varies, so I'll just
show the chords.You'll have to listen to the song to get the excact rhythm.
