Capo on 1st
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
This should be the entire song, note for note hopefully. Pick it using
the thumb on the low D, A and D strings for the alternating bass rythym
and the index and middle fingers on the F#, A and D strings for the lead.
The intro starts out a little slower than the rest of the song.

Each of the four "riffs" with the roman numerals on top of them in the verse
can use the different variations below. Once you learn the two basic patterns
in the intro and the first verse you can just mix and match the alternate
riffs for the four numbered parts into the song.
