Recruiting Sargeant Great Big Sea
This is how I play it on my Acoustic. You can play it on electric, but tapping on the
in the second last chorus wont help.
Also, account for the slight accent on the words. You = Ye. I didn't write it in the
part but I did in the second because thats how it sounds to me.
Enjoy
