IF YOU ENJOY PLAYING THE GUITAR THEN LEARN THIS SONG, IT'S ENTERTAINING
AND IT's ALSO A BIT OF A CHALLENGE, IT'S ALSO QUITE UPBEAT.

(but first get the song to play along to)

This song sounds wicked with a bit of distortion.
The guitar riffs are all perfect but the verse/intro chords are just
made up seeing as they are played by piano in the original song.

h = hammer on
p = pull of
/ = upwards finger slide
 = downwards finger slide

Enjoy.
