Tuning: Both Guitars - E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G C majorC e

It's also very possible to play this song in
standard tuning, but by raising the BB string
up a whole step, it makes a very easy song even easier.

If you're unsure of which note "C" is, match
the open "B" string to the fifth fret note of the "G" string.

 Verse:

 Guitar 2: Rhythm
 Unfortunately, guitar 2 plays this straight
 through for the rest of the song, while
 guitar 1 does all of the fun stuff.
