Tuning: Drop C (CGCFAD) - The bottom half of this page has the song transposed to Drop D, so you
                          only have to tune down one string! However, they play an open C power
                          chord in this song, so in Drop D just play the C chord an octave up (x355xx).

Guitar 1 - Whakaio Taahi
Guitar 2 - Jake Hardy

Not too many guitar parts here going on, so it should be pretty straightforward. Great song too,
although I admit it's a grower. Enjoy!
