This is played with a 6-string electric and 6-string acoustic guitar with
standard (EADGBE) tuning. This tablature is my own work, it may be distributed
freely.
Guitar Setup:
Acoustic - None.
Electric - I just used a clean sound with the neck pickup, this isn't
a particularly unique sound.
Playing:
Listening to the song, it's pretty obvious the only electric parts are
the passing bass notes between the chords in the chorus. So - I've
included them together. One can play this with one acoustic guitar. If this
is played on an acoustic, I play with thumb-bass, and the remainging fingers
to pluck the rest of the chord. I've sort of tabbed it that way too. Below
are the general chords - feel free to improvise (or match the song).
And now - onto the song...
