NOTE:
When T&S play this song they actually use a Capo on the 5th fret. I don’t!
It’s basically the same. I you do choose to use the Capo, know that Am=Em, F5=C, and C=G.
And also, when they play they use three guitars, and I just use one, so it’s quite
that it may not be complete.
If you come up with any other kind of riff just use it! :)
Ok, my friends, ENJOY!!!!!

can strum any string as long as it follows the same chord and sounds good.)
