I have a feeling many of you who were bagging this song earlier
have changed your minds. It IS a great song..really grew on me!
Anyway, here is my take on how it is played.

Tuning: Eb MajorEb

Take note: I have four (kinda 5) different E's in here.

Sorry there so many chords, but this is as accurate as I get :)
