This tab is based completely on my own interpretation.
All guitar work and transcribing.

One of my favorite Rufus songs...
Doesn't really have a defined guitar part
in the beginning, but I play out with this song
once and awhile and this is what I use..

That's pretty much all there is to it..
Very simple song, but all the extra instrumentation and his
sister singing along make it a really great tune.

Please email with your comments. Thanks
