Me and a couple of friends use to play this song a little while back.
I figured out all of the parts, and I'm pretty sure they are right. It's
a fun song to play, and it's not that difficult. If you have any comments
or corrections, you can e-mail me.

The beginning is with only an acoustic. The stumming varies, so I'll just
show the chords.You'll have to listen to the song to get the excact rhythm.
