There it is, fun song to play, not hard. 
Try and feel the rhythm changes through the verses, 
they give the song a good build up on to the ‘Take it or Leave it” 
part.
Now the two notes on the 8th fret in the 
chorus aren’t actually there on the CD. 
But they sound right and follow the guitar accurately.
