Kula Shaker: "Hey Dude"
from the album "K"
This is how I play this awesome song. It might not be entirely
correct, but it sounds really good to me. As always, listen to
the recording to get the rhythm right.
Intro:
G minorGmBb majorBbC majorCCsus4Csus4C majorC
The verse follows this pattern, but in the recording it's
played with bass only. The timing of the singing is really weird,
so once again, listen to the cd.
Strum mosty on the 4 highest strings during the verse.

Then there's the little riff before the solo:

|-------3p1------------|-1--3----3--1---------|
|--------------h3--0---|---------------3------|
