After searching for some time for this song, I decided to try and figure it out for myself. This is my first real tab, so please cut me some slack--on the other hand, I would love to receive corrections or expansions. Once you get the rhythm, the song is quite easy, yet fun to play. For the rhythm, you'll probably do best playing along with the CD at first. Also, a slight bend on the A's (5th fret Top String) sounds good in places. Enjoy!

Intro: The Intro seems to be a G and G/F (maybe a D, too)-- which I am playing as an A-shape (10th fret) barre chord--and heavy tremolo effect.
