G       3 2 0 0 3 3
G6      3 2 0 0 3 0

This is a really cool song done acoustically.  IMHO, the version on the
Van Halen Live CD is much better than the version on Sammy's solo album.
I won't vouch for the accuracy of this transcription, as I am an engineer
and not a music major...With that in mind, I am welcome to any corrections
or questions :)
