Dedicated to Diamond Dave(thanks for everything)

This is a fairly easy song.  The song is play on an acoustic guitar and 
accompanied here and there by a piano.  There are only three major 
chords and they are played in the following progression A-E-D5-E.  
The beginning is played softer with a lighter strum on the higher strings.
When the Cat starts groovin' the strumming gets stinger(duh). Enjoy!
