This is a really cool song that is just flat out ska/reggae instrumental.
You'll note that the cords are ska chords with a few minor modifications.
Of course the song can be played different ways. Also, the solo is almost spot-on,
I added a few notes on the "walk down" on the first line of solo. This will get you close
for rock and roll.....I mean ska!
Note- these cords are labeld with letters only for identification,
not because they are the actual cords that corespond to that ska cord.
